XnView Shell Extension

[LaurentG]

Hi,

I have just installed for the first time XnShell extension on Win7 64 bits.
And I discovered that language change do not work in this version (4.0 64 bits.)

Actually, this is due to the fact that HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView\ShellEx\language is not correctly set, but contains extra characters (most often two chars, sometimes more) after language code.
If I update manually the entry (with Regedit) to a correct value (eg. "fr"), it works fine.

But registry entry is overwritten each time any option is changed... and then require to be re-set manually at each time with Regedit.

i tried also to disinstall all xn software + vcredist_x64 and reboot any time. reinstall all and rebot but don't work. i think that there is some of my software that caused an incompatibility.

Same thing?

After i tried also a register with bat file.

you need to run the .bat with admin rights

yes, i launch all with admin rights but an all 3 pc doesn't work.
when i click on xnview option from right click the preview of the file don't appear.


last question. usually it is possible install only xnview shell or it need xnview classic?

I've tried on a clean Win10 x64, and no problem
Please try to remove HKCU>Software>XnView>ShellEx from registry

you can install it without XnView

i'm think i'm wrong somethink in the installation, beacuse i tried again the installation on other 2 pc where never was installed xn software , i install only xnshell but there is the same problem... the register.bat procedure is required?
in attachment the screenshot of my installation folder

Hello and Thank you for your great programs (xnviewMP is amazing)

I have used the shell extension back in xp and win7 with success - but nothing I tried gets it to work on Win10 (1709).

I've tried all sorts (I know my way around windows) - including latest version, MS runtimes, admin, ownership, install vs zip, registry etc

The context menu does appear but nothing happens when choosing an action (any). If i edit the registry I can change the appearance of the menu
(as when going into options) - which means the shell does read and load the registry settings - but that is the only sign of life.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful - Thanks

Same as previous user Is it a clean Windows 10? Which version?

[lostinpixels]

yes, clean install - it's the x64 version (1709 rs3) - i have all the .net and run times installed too.
