I recently realised that the default value for the IrfanView image is always the 32 bit version, even if GenoPro is running on a 64 bit machine.
I know it is not easy to detect this architectural detail in a program but maybe it would be possible to look for the presence of the 64 or 32 bit image in the %ProgramFiles%\IrfanView folder to determine which image is present, or if indeed it is missing?
There is actually an error message generated when the IrfanView image is not found, but it is difficult to spot in the log window. Maybe a different color could be used and/or a final "done with errors" message could be considered?

Yes I should be able to sort something out to improve this.
As GenoPro is 32bit then on a 64bit OS the environment variable %Program Files% always points at %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86) therefore I will need to check the path %ProgramW6432%, which is only present in a 64bit OS. I will need to change the way a default is obtained for parameters of type 'file'. Currently it is just read from the ConfigMsg.. file. I did try 64bit IrfanView some time ago and found it very buggy and so I abandoned it. Hopefully it has improved by now.

Ok I think I have a fix for this.
Essentially I have added an extra attribute Default64 to the Irfanview config parameter in ConfigMsgBase.xml to specify the default 64bit executeable. The scripts then check for it and if found test to see if the file exists and use that value if it does, otherwise the value of the standard Default attribute is used. I have changed the message displayed in the log should the file not be found to be a red error message rather than a comment. Not sure why it was a comment in the first place  There are also some cosmetic changes to the way the file parameters are presented in the Configuration dialog. The attached zip contains the 3 amended files, ConfigMsgBase.xml, Init.htm & ParameterSettings.hta that should be unzipped and copied into the skins folder Narrative Common\Code

Congratulations. Tested on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. Works OK for me.

I have copied these three files, but now the report fails:Opening configuration file Config.xml for skin '\{EN} Narrative Report\* (2018.03.09)'... Loading Dictionary.xml...

Possibly the some of the other files in Narrative Common where not the latest, e.g. Util.vbs, so I suggest using the Narrative Common folder attached to this post http://support.genopro.com/Topic39951.aspx which I think is the last update I have posted.
I'll create a new thread with all the report skins udated since GenoPro 3.0.1.5 to make them easier to find.
