The /silent option for iv_uninstall.exe doesn't work. The remove process stops trying to display a window to confirm uninstall.
Installation options
See http://www.irfanview.com/faq.htm for a full list of the installer options.
i_view32.exe File Sizes
Irfanview 3.99 didn't bump the version number in the executable, so for some versions of Irvanview (possibly not the most recent versions), when checking for which version is installed you should check the size of i_view32.exe too. The file sizes for some versions are:
- 4.25: 481792
- 4.27: 494080
- 3.99: 444928
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.
[Others]
INI_Folder="%APPDATA%\Irfanview"
This file is also useful to define the default configuration that we wish for the Irfanview installation.
For example,
to select the Spanish language and the Grosberg_24 toolbar style
you need to add to i_view32.ini:
[Language]
DLL=SPANISH.DLL
Lang=Español
[Toolbar]
Skin=Grosberg_24.png
Size=24
Plugins
<package id="irfanview_plugins" name="Irfanview Plugins" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="1">
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\IrfanView\plugins\IV_player.exe" />
<depends package-id="irfanview" />
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\irfanview\irfanview_plugins_427_setup.exe /silent' />
<upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\irfanview\irfanview_plugins_427_setup.exe /silent' />
</package>
Languages
To install the Irfanview language packs is better to copy the required files from the zip.
The language installers doesn't has the /silent option.
This is an example package definition to install the Spanish Language package.
<package id="irfanview_es" name="Irfanview Spanish Language" revision="4270" reboot="false" priority="1">
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\IrfanView\Languages\Spanish.dll" />
<depends package-id="irfanview" />
<!-- Copy Spanish.dll and IP_Spanish.lng with one command -->
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y "%SOFTWARE%\irfanview\*Spanish.*" "%ProgramFiles%\Irfanview\Languages\"' />
<upgrade cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y "%SOFTWARE%\irfanview\*Spanish.*" "%ProgramFiles%\Irfanview\Languages\"' />
</package>
