Instead of using John Haller's wrapper, I took the Irfanview web site at face value (Irfanview is portable as it stands, or words to that effect) and just dumped the necessary files onto a stick for carrying to all sorts of computers. Mostly, it works. But I now have a need to open PDFs with Irfanview to convert then to raster graphics (mostly multi-page TIF but not exclusively).
Of course, as Ghostscript is not "installed" on the PC, Irfanview cannot find it on the stick, even if in the Irfanview folder structure. I have searched all over these forums (well, a lot of it) and can find no reference to making entries in the i_view32.ini file or anywhere else. Is that a possibility? Or must I use some alternative solution where it is not possible to "install" Ghostview.
[For information, the stick is required to perform on Win98 PCs upwards, so Win2K+ solutions are no use. That is one of the delights of Irfanview - it still works on Win98.]
