Note: The following information is a little bit technical and not intended for novice Windows users.
XnView does not need any installation since all the settings are stored in the xnview.ini and bookmark.ini, located in the program directory of XnView. Mainly, the installation (setup) is for convenience reasons and allows easy installation and deinstallation.
This means that you just need to know which XnView files you need and make them available on a drive (local drive, CD rom, network drive, or even a memory stick), further installation is not needed.
The minimal version, which is available on the
XnView download page almost contains the minimum of files and is about 900 KB in size, only.
So I recommend to download the ZIP archive and unpack it to a directory. Then you can copy or move the files to the drive you need (memory stick, digital camera, ...)
If the minimal version is still to large, you can remove its language dlls and the skins, actually the two files xnview.exe and xnview.exe.manifest are the only two files needed to run XnView.
Sure enough, you can also
add specific language files and make your tailored version of XnView. When starting, XnView will automatically use the available files, given that these are located in the correct directories (language, plugins, help, ...).
Please note, that you must not distribute your tailored XnView version (put on a download page or give to a large number of people), since this might make support very hard for us, also the licence agreements might be missing.
Wish you nice holidays!
