XnView Software

On my new windows-8 (64 bit) computer
I can't seem be run XnViewMP , also file-association doesn't seem to work,
For XnViewMP I get the error message:

The application has failed to start because of its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxtrace.exe tool for more detail.

Any clues how to get this working ?

ok, i'll check...
Perhaps you need to install the visual 2008 crt dll

Is it XnViewMP 64bits?

Yes, I only tried the 64-bit version

so you need to install the CRT dll, you have the link in the package...

OK, after installing the visual 2008 crt dll , it works !!

Thanks ,

René

That is likely due to to the changes to the file associations in Win 8:

Apps are no longer able to programmatically set themselves as the default handler for a file type or protocol.

If I am reading it correctly, apps are no longer even able to query this information.
