Yes, unexpected, but I've rechecked and I am using 2.49.2 with only GS gs9.27 x32 installed and the file opens, it wouldn't open with GS gs9.52 x32 installed...

I don't know much about the registry...
The laptop on which I am testing had a clean Windows 10 install fairly recently, I installed GS 9.52 x64 soon after when I installed XnView MP 0.96, and had hardly been in Windows until yesterday when needed to work with PDFs in XnView Classic, and installed GS 9.52 x32.
Then, as above, I couldn't open PDFs until I uninstalled GS 9.52 x32 and installed GS 9.27 x32 ...

Something unexplained on the first laptop, possibly a corrupted download, or a Windows 10 issue??

I can now report following some further tests that XnView Classic 2.49.2 opens PDF files with
either GS 9.52
or an earlier version installed...
[GS 9.50 not tested but also presumed to work.]
