XnViewMP does not start on Windows 11 Pro N

Post by joshua5 »

Tried several installs with and without Intune, using the official Win11 22H2 moment 3 ISO on a stick created with Rufus, but everytime I could not get XnViewMP to start. It always shows 3 popups complaining about the files MFPlat.dll, MF.dll and ResampleDmo.DLL. Exact message:
"The code execution cannot proceed because MF.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

I tried installing several versions of VCRedist (2008 - 2022) but that did not help.

Eventually tried Windows 11 Pro (without N, so with Media Player) and XnViewMP worked perfectly.

XnView Classic does work on Windows 11 Pro N without issues.

it seems that you should install "Media Feature Pack for N"

I can confirm it worked after installing "Media Feature Pack".
If you can detect this that would be nice because the error did not make this clear. Although probably not worth the trouble as not many people use the N version I guess.
