I attempted to update IrfanView 32 (IV32) from 4.5.3 to 4.5.4 by simply overwriting the existing directory under Program Files (x86) with those from the ZIP file.
However, IV 32 now shows a UAC prompt every time I start it. If I respond "No" to the prompt, IV32 still works.
I have my INI files in %APPDATA%\IrfanView and have tried changing the value of "INI_Folder=" in c:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.in as recommended in the FAQ and I have also tried deleting c:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32 completely, but the problem persists.
I can only assume that the UAC prompt has something to do with IrfanView trying to access the file associations, as mentioned in this FAQ article:
How to Upgrade IrfanView: Is it necessary to uninstall the older version before installing the newer version?
Why should anything in the file associations change or need changing?
