Silent Deployment of XnView

[MAK]

Hello I like to deploy XnView without any user clicks. I know the switch "/silent", but I like to know how I can set the .bmp link with XnView per BATCH or Switch.

There might be other and more professional ways to do a silent installation of XnView (e.g. Software Management tools, ...), but I followed your initial idea and tried it out. What you need is a small batch script and a .reg file containing registry keys exported from regedit.

The batch file will
- call regedit and do the registrations for .bmp
- call the XnView setup program in silent mode

The .reg file contains the keys for the file associations for the .bmp format.

File "xnview-install-silent.bat":

Code: Select all

@echo off
regedit /s xnview-assoc.reg
XnView-win1.66-full-de.exe /silent

File "xnview-assoc.reg":

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp]
@="XnView.Image"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnView.bmp]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnView.bmp\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnView.bmp\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnView.bmp\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\PROGRAMME\\XNVIEW1.66\\XNVIEW.EXE\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnView.bmp\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\PROGRAMME\\XNVIEW1.66\\XNVIEW.EXE,2"

The registry keys above are exported using RegEdit on Windows 98. The format of the .reg file might differ when using RegEdit on newer Windows platforms.
