Hi @Dragon1573,

This exe installer seems to install another exe installer: Is this a nested installer?

There's a similar Setup32.exe inside the x86 folder, possibly to support that architecture as well. They need to be run in an elevated context:

The nested installer didn't respond to normal help switches /? or --help, instead just running the installer. Running the nested installer manually resulted in it trying to install into the same folder, resulting in an error:

In addition to silent install switches for the nested installer, an install location switch might also be needed.

This exe installer seems to install another exe installer: Is this a nested installer?

No. pthsetup.exe is kind of "wrapper" of Setup.exe. If you try run Setup.exe interactively and manually install it to a different folder, you'll get exactly the same contents in the installation directory.

In addition to silent install switches for the nested installer, an install location switch might also be needed.

pthsetup.exe DOES support configuring install location, but it's supported by passing a configuration file to EXE using /u:config.txt. We can't dynamically generate config file during installation, right?

What is PSP Thumbnail Handler?

  PSP Thumbnail Handler is a free utility developed by Bot

  Explorer's thumbnails view, this utility allows you to view
  thumbnails of Paint Shop Pro images.

  PSP Thumbnail Handler is a shell extension, a plugin for Windows
  Explorer. It can display thumbnails of the following types:

    - psp (Images, PSP 6 or 7)
    - tub (Picture tubes, PSP 7)
    - jsl (Shapes, PSP 7)
    - pfr (Picture frames, PSP 7)
    - psimage (Images, PSP 8+)
    - psptube (Picture tubes, PSP 8+)
    - pspshape (Shapes, PSP 8+)
    - pspframe (Picture frames, PSP 8+)

  Also, PSP Thumbnail Handler allows you to view the dimensions of
  PSP images in Windows Explorer's details view.


What's new in PSP Thumbnail Handler 2.1?

  Version 2.1 is a minor update to version 2.0, adding several
  features:

  - A 64-bit version for x64 editions of Windows
  - Full Unicode support on Windows 2000, XP, and newer versions
  - Uses Bot Productions Setup 3.0, allowing a more streamlined
    setup experience as well as command-line deployment options

  Note: This installation package is for x64 editions of Windows
  XP, Windows Server 2003, and newer versions.  Separate
  installation packages are available for 32-bit versions of
  Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, as well as for Windows 2000,
  Windows Me, and Windows 98.


Installation 

  To install PSP Thumbnail Handler, run the file pthsetup.exe.
  This begins the PSP Thumbnail Handler Setup Wizard, which guides

  handle. The list contains PSP 7 and 8+ file types; click the
  check box next to a file type to include or exclude that type.
  To include a PSP file type not listed, click the Add New Type
  button and type in the file extension. Typically, you should
  accept the default settings.

  You must run Setup from an administrator account.


Using PSP Thumbnail Handler

  Open Windows Explorer and navigate to a folder containing Paint
  Shop Pro images. Select "Thumbnails" from the "View" menu, and
  see thumbnails of your PSP images.


Uninstallation

  To remove PSP Thumbnail Handler, use the Control Panel's Add or
  Remove Programs icon. Before uninstalling, close any Explorer or
  folder windows that are currently open, otherwise the utility
  may not be fully uninstalled.

@stephengillie - Review required 🙏🏼

Hi @Dragon1573,

I've read part of the Readme, and now understand that this is a shell extension to display thumbnails of PSP and similar file extensions inside File Explorer, much like other images.

• Is PaintShop Pro a dependency? It's available through the MSStore as 9N6G6F7L1B43, and the free download option might be a good fit for this package manager as well.
• I tried this with a non-PSP image, and nothing happened - I'm guessing this is because it's basically a library to allow File Explorer to read and display this image data. Is this accurate?
  
• Is there a good source for testing images?

Edit: Forgot links.

Is PaintShop Pro a dependency? It's available through the MSStore as 9N6G6F7L1B43, and the free download option might be a good fit for this package manager as well.

Can't sure if it's required. If PaintShop Pro is available on users' devices, these file extensions might already associated with it. Users may prefer viewing these files with PaintShop Pro directly.

I tried this with a non-PSP image, and nothing happened - I'm guessing this is because it's basically a library to allow File Explorer to read and display this image data. Is this accurate?

Yes, it is. It can be regarded as an add-on for explorer.exe.

Is there a good source for testing images?

Nope 😥 I don't know much about PaintShop Pro and it's exclusive file extensions. There seems no "gallery site" (a demo page like SuperNova does) for PaintShop Pro. Maybe it's hard to validate manually ...

[stephengillie]

The application doesn't really give any user interface to verify.
