I'm curious as to why you need a single, stand-alone exe file. I've been down that road before, and each time I've determined it was a moot, if not impossible request. Modern applications often have dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of dependencies (DLL files). Asking for a laundry list of features stuffed into a single executable seems like a rather tall request IMHO.
You may want to look into the GDI+ Flat API, with which you should be able gain the functionality CxImage with native Windows DLLs. I don't think it's been wrapped in Euphoria yet. It's made up of "about 600 functions", a couple dozen structures, and about a hundred constants.
You may be able to use DirectShow to obtain thumbnails from videos, but that seems to be a COM library, so you'd have to use EuCOM. I have no idea where to even begin with that.
