[Steerpike]

I just tried to install, bui 'failed' (or so it said - I seem to have 1.8.3 despite all the problems).

I had recently installed 1.8.2.0 for the first time on my Win 11 Laptop. Installation completed without issue and it ran fine.

Today I ran XnView and got a message about a new version, so I took the easy path of clicking the link which downloaded the installation file to my downloads folder. I ran the installation. It asked me to close two running programs - windows explorer and XnView. I closed them both and I asked it to proceed. Next thing I notice is, my task-bar at the bottom disappeared - it appeared that the installed killed the one 'core' explorer.exe instance that runs the start menu, task bar, etc. I also got an error about its inability to update some shared resource (sorry, I did not note it down). It recommended I abort the installation which I did.

Since task bar at bottom was gone, and thus, 'start menu', I used ctrl-alt-del to launch task manager and from there, ran 'explorer.exe', and that brought back my task bar (but the start menu still did not work - no problem I don't use start menu much). I used explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\XnViewMP and ran XnViewMP.exe from there. XnViewMP came up fine, and help/about shows 1.8.3 - the new version.

So - installation reported a failure but I do seem to have the latest version.

I tried a second installation attempt, and this time, right after launching the installer from the downloads directory, I closed File Manager so there were no open instances of explorer.exe, but the install again flagged that 'explorer.exe' was running. There was, technically, an instance of explorer.exe running as there is ALWAYS one instance running to provide taskbar, etc. But the installer should not care about that.

I re-ran the installation a third time to take notes. I chose to install the XnView Shell Extension. I chose NOT to install a desktop shortcut or quick launch shortcut. I again got the message 'the following applications are using files that need to be updated by setup. It is recommended that you allow setup to automatically close these applications. After ...'. The only application listed is Windows Explorer. (I had left ONE explorer session open pointing to the installer file). So I said 'next'. A progress window appears 'closing applications'. After a long time, this action finally times out and says 'setup was unable to automatically close ...'. I was about to manually close it, but - it was already closed - no visible explorer sessions. So I clicked 'Try again' ... . After another long delay, the action again times out and gives me the same message. So I then say 'cancel the installation' ... .

I'm now going to have to reboot to clean up some of this mess. Then I'll try again.
