Installation options

See http://www.irfanview.com/faq.htm for a full list of the installer options.

Configuration

By default Irfanview uses a user configuration file (i_view32.ini) in the Irfanview program directory. This is not appropriate in a multi-user environment. Irfanview can instead use an alternative configuration file if you instruct it to do so. Tell Irfanview to use a configuration file in a user's %APPDATA% directory and each user will be able to have their own configuration. Do this by replacing the default i_view32.ini with the following one.

Save this as i_view32.ini and place it your %PACKAGES%\IrfanView\ directory beside the installer.
