Irfanview is an image viewer that has some additional features

Basic install:

<package id="irfanview" name="Irfanview 3.93" revision="1" >
  <check type="file" condition="exists" path="c:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" />
  <install cmd='\\server\software\irfanview\iview390.exe /silent /folder="c:\Program Files\Irfanview" /desktop=1 /group=1 /allusers=0 /assoc=1' >
     <exit code="0" />
  </install>
</package>

The problem with irfanview is that it likes to write to i_view32.ini in the same folder, which is a problem if the user does not have permissions. You can create an INI file to redirect this to the user's Application Data folder though:

• Create a i_view32.ini file:

   [Others]
   INI_Folder=%APPDATA%\Irfanview

• copy this into the IrfanView directory. You can do this in wpkg using the patch in bug #18 (as of wpkg 0.9.3, this is not merged):

 <install src="\\server\software\irfanview\i_view32.ini" dest="c:\Program Files\Irfanview" overwrite="true" />

• An alternative method is to use xcopy:

 <install cmd='xcopy /y "\\server\software\irfanview\i_view32.ini" "C:\Program Files\Irfanview\" '>
   <exit code="0" />
 </install>
