    Solved Version 4.44 32-bit - will not install in WinXP SP2

    Hi...just trying to upgrade from v4.42 on WinXP and Setup file will not run. Previous version 4.42 install fine.
    Have the requirements changed in some way?

    Thanks

    Not unless you're trying to install the 64-bit version by mistake.

    IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 , 2008, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.

      Hmmm...it's a puzzle - it's version 4.44 32-bit - am sure of that. When I click on 4.42 installer, it opens right away. The v. 4.44 does not, but.
      triggers IE for some reason, but nothing happens, after that.

        Try the download from the IrfanView Help page in my forum signature. You will also find links to older versions there if you need them.

          Downloaded from the Help page - same result. As I pointed out before, the previous version 4.42 installs fine. Something must have changed in v 4.44.
          One correction, when I click on installer it's IE that is triggered, but Windows Explorer wants to connect to internet. I get that message from firewall.

            Correction, Win Explorer want to connect to internet, not IE. I earlier said it triggered IE - that is not correct.

                I suspect there's been a change and now WinXP SP3 is checked for. If that is the case, it should have been documented with change notes.
                It's still claimed that Irfanview works with Win98, ME, etc - this was perhaps true for earlier versions, but no longer.

                  It works with Windows XP. It doesn't claim to work with SP2. I don't think it should work, developer's time is valuable.

                      ... or get the .zip files from the IrfanView website instead of running the .exe installs.

                      currently running 4.56 / 32 bit

                        It's typical: that Windows Explorer wants to connect to internet.
                        I've seen it before, when trying to install an app that is written for WinXP SP3.
                        I've attached the message - not sure. But puzzles me that if v 4.44 is for SP3, it was not noted in revision notes.
                        It takes about 10 sec to type that :-)

                          And if you let it access the Internet, what happens next?

                            Thanks Jazzman..it worked. So IView works fine with WinXP SP2, but the installer does not like SP2. I just dropped all the files on top of v4.42 and same for plugins.

                              Nothing. I first thought it was asking for IE to connect, which I do not use. I corrected myself.
