Even if you register it with regsrv32?

I try to resvr32 it manually via cmd like henry_jones told it in the first post, but everytime i try this way I get an Error-Message:

German


English




I try it in both way: Program Files (x86) & Program Files

Any Ideas?


For later on if someone got the same errors I will now type the errormessage to find this post via a searchengine:

LoadLibrary("C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\ShellEx\XnViewShellExt.dll") fehlgeschlagen - Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil die Anwendungskonfiguration nicht ordnungsgemäß ist. Zur Problembehebung sollten sie die Anwendung neu installieren.

LoadLibrary("C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\ShellEx\XnViewShellExt.dll") failed - This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstall this application may fix this problem.

Ok,

I had exactly the same problem (Windows vista Business 64 bit French).

Did not manage to make the executable work, same message as yours saying it's not a valid win32 file (no wonder since i'm installing the 64 bit version, i wonder why it expects a 32 bit file anyways ! )
By the way, why does it want to install it by default in "program files (x86)" when it's a 64 bit dll ? Is there a probleme in the detection of 32/64 bit ?

Tried to register the dll manually with (%windir%\system32\regsvr32 "..path to the file"), which is the correct regsvr32 to register a 64 bit dll as far as i know, the one in syswow64 being for 32 bit dlls (i know, the names are incredibly misleading, if i'm wrong please tell me) and got an error message.
Something about "sidebyside" and a missing file Microsoft.VC80.ATL

Looked around a little and found a link to "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)" you can dowlaod here : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... layLang=en

With this package installed i tried to register the dll again, and this time it worked ! Hurray !

But.... I still don't have the thumbnails of the images in windows explorer ! (PSD files)
I only have a thumbnail of the file in the contextual menu that appears when i right click on it. Not directly in the thumbnail view in explorer !

Is this normal ? Or is the dll not installed properly ?

How can i see the thumnails of my files directly in explorer ?

Merci pour toute aide

Installing the C++ SP as mentioned above and then manually running regsvr32 worked for me

my way to install the shell extension in vista 64:

1 install xnview with extension
2 create link with: %systemroot%\syswow64\regsvr32 "c:\program files (x86)\xnview\XnViewShellExt.dll"
3 right click on the link and use "run as administrator" (may be it's "launch as administrator", my french version of vista doesn't make any difference )
4 right click on xnview link and use "run as administrator" (or "launch..." etc)
5 set up shell options

I didn't need to install the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)" because it still was.

that's all

Mhhh... i still got this Error-Message. I think in my case its a much larger problem at registering the reg itself then the way how to register. Any Ideads?

With Version 1.70 it seems now neccessary to install the Microsoft C++ Runtime update. In 1.60 I could do without.

In 1.70 there is now an error stating something about side to side configuration. Here in german:

Cannot include img Tags, wtf ?
Here als Link:

This is gone after installing the runtime update, but you still have to register it yourself.

The 32bit version?

[Henry_Jones]

@xnview: no the 64 Bit Version. The 32 Bit was not tested yet, but I guess having installed VS 2005 on the 32 Bit Laptop makes the runtime install obsolete.

When I find time to create my prefered resolutions I'll change to 1.70 there too.

The 64bits version is built with VS2005, not the 32bits version

[Henry_Jones]

No problems with the 32 Bit Version, but seems to be still 1.6.1 (downloaded the zip version)

Is there a chance that the features from here http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=12655 get integrated ?

At the moment (having made the preview size "configurable" myself) point 2 - copying the image to the clipboard would be my favored wish

I have to use an old application that only accepts bmp files or image data pasted from the clipboard.
