Hello, I have the exact same problem as in Elendil0 ("When I go to Options Associations, "jpg" is already checked ; I uncheck then check again => it generates an error window "ERR5, msg1, OK"."). Association does not work . Installed from the installation file 1.98.8 on Win 64bit. Please tell me how to fix this bug. Thank you

Hi,
The same problem - XnView 1.98.8, Win7 x64 - i've got error messages "ERR5, msg1, OK" when try to set file associations. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks.

upd: Before I have installed new version I try to set associations using old version (1.91.5) which I copied from my old PC.

Do you start XnView with admin rights?

Do you start XnView with admin rights?

Yes, I do. This do not solve the problem. BTW I try later to do the same with XNViewMP (I've run 'Associate files with XnViewMP.exe' with adm rights) - it said that there is error and suggest to run program with adm right although it already had adm rights. Actually it set associations for some formats, but not for all - it seems that this tool set associations for formats, which I didn't try to use with XNView before.

And do you had problem with previous version?

And do you had problem with previous version?

Yes, previous version didn't set associations at all, that is why I decide to try new version.

I've solved this problem (it seems that it is not problem of the XNView) - there was an checkbox "special permissions" checked in the column "forbid" in the permissions dialog (I have russian win7, so I do not know exactly which names this items have in english version) for my user for registry keys like

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpeg\UserChoice]

and so on (not for all extensions, for those which XNView can't associate only). I have reset permissions for all

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts]

area (remove the tick "special permissions") and now both XNView and XNViewMP can set associations for this files.

Hi xn_kaan, also have a russian win 7-64. Please tell me where there is a checkbox "special permissions" about which you said.
