Fixed IrfanView Plugins x64 4.50 update fails - it displays an untitled window with a red X

[zakk]

I had IrfanView 4.44 x64 and Plugins 4.44 x64 installed in my win 10 system version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) [16299.15].

Today I downloaded irfanview_plugins_x64_450_setup.exe and irfanview_plugins_x64_450_setup.exe from https://www.fosshub.com/IrfanView.html (I also checked the MD5 file hashes, they match with that in the page).
So, I ran irfanview_plugins_x64_450_setup.exe (as admin) and it updated ok.
But when I ran irfanview_plugins_x64_450_setup.exe (as admin)
it shows -every single time- the following error (and if I press OK, the installer exits):


There's no entry in windows' Event Viewer when this happens.

I got the same error after this warning from Windows Defender, and running it anyway.



I sent a bug report to Irfan Skiljan.

The plugin packages on FossHub have now been updated.

Now it works ok. Thank you and Irfan Skiljan for the quick response

Thanks for reporting it. I was not even aware 4.50 was released until I saw this thread, though I knew it was coming soon.
