I have some programs written that allow us, utilizing the shell command, to execute the old kodak image viewer on windows 98 and windows 2000 systems.
We now have 2 new xp machines in house. Kodak imaging is gone. I would still like to handle some form of an automatic execute. Is anyone aware of the execute for the picture and fax viewer that comes with XP.
Thanks for your help
Mike
 
XP now comes with that viewer integrated, what file type you trying to see?
 
Did you come across this in your travels?

The following is from Lockergnome tips.

10th December 2001

Kodak did a wonderful job on their Imaging Application (which comes bundled with Windows 98 and Windows 2000). As I archived more and more black and white documents, I came to appreciate its power. Sadly, this utility does not exist in Windows XP. There's no KODAKIMG.EXE or KODAKPRV.EXE to be found! My heartfelt thanks goes out to Lockergnomaniac John Hunter, who found a solution for those of us who miss our dear old app. We agree that the new "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" sucks. If you have a Windows 2000 CD, copy the following files from the disc: OCKODAK.DLL, OIENG400.DLL, OIPRT400.DLL, OISLB400.DLL, OISSQ400.DLL, OITWA400.DLL, OIUI400.DLL, IMGCMN.DLL, IMGADMIN.OCX, IMGEDIT.OCX, IMGSCAN.OCX, and IMGTHUMB.OCX. Note that these files may still be compressed in the "**_" format.

You will need to use either the EXPAND.EXE utility or WinZip to uncompress them. If you have a Windows 98 CD, copy those same files PLUS the following: OIADM400.DLL, OICOM400.DLL, OIDIS400.DLL, OIFIL400.DLL, OIGFS400.DLL, IMGSHL.DLL, and IMGOCXD.HLP. In both cases, you should place all of them inside your System32 folder. Now, it's time to register the OCX files. Tap Winkey+R to launch the Run applet and then enter: "regsvr32 imgadmin.ocx" (sans quotes). Do the same for imgedit.ocx, imgscan.ocx, and imgthumb.ocx. Remember, to unregister an ActiveX control, you only need to trail regsvr32 with the "/u" switch. Be sure you've copied over the aforementioned executables to your System32 folder. They should work now! NOTE: You may need to launch the Kodak program to see if there are any other files missing from this procedure.
 
I am trying to open a 'tif' file. In WIN2000 I was able to open up the Kodak imaging, send some keys to it and open the file for viewing.
Thanks again
Mike
