Note
Use the below script to deploy Irfanview over AD with a GPO. Copy'n'paste the lines between the "---CMD---" to a cmd-file.

The script will check if there already is an install done. If there is one, it will silently exit, otherwise it'll install both the program and the plugins-set. Change the path to your admin-share as appropriate.

This script has been tested on WinXP SP2, WinXP SP2 x64 and all versions of Win2k3 and found to work as expected.

iview398.exe /silent /folder="c:\test folder\irfanview" /desktop=1 /thumbs=1 /group=1 /allusers=0 /assoc=1 /assocallusers

Note
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. It is designed to be simple for beginners and powerful for professionals.

Deploying IrfanView with SCCM can be easily done with one command. 
Example: "%DPused%iview436_setup.exe" /silent /desktop=0 /thumbs=0 /group=1 /allusers=1 /assoc=0

The following settings can be configured:

  • Options:
    folder:     destination folder; if not indicated: old IrfanView folder is used, if not found, the "Program Files" folder is used
    desktop:  create desktop shortcut; 0 = no, 1 = yes (default: 0)
    thumbs:   create desktop shortcut for thumbnails; 0 = no, 1 = yes (default: 0)
    group:     create group in Start Menu; 0 = no, 1 = yes (default: 0)
    allusers:  desktop/group links are for all users; 0 = current user, 1 = all users
    assoc:     if used, set file associations; 0 = none, 1 = images only, 2 = select all (default: 0)
    assocallusers:  if used, set associations for all users (Windows XP only)
    ini:      if used, set custom INI file folder (system environment variables are allowed)


There is only one little 'problem' if you want to set the /ini to %appdata%/irfanview ( /ini=%APPDATA%/IrfanView ). SCCM converts %APPDATA% to the current user, which is the SYSTEM account, and NOT the APPDATA folder of the end-user. Result: the application still doesn't save it settings into the APPDATA of the end-user.

After an installation (without /ini option) the default INI location is C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\. So all settings will be saved in: C:\Program Files(x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.ini.  To change this, you need to put the following setting into the file (remove all the other settings) :

[Others]
INI_Folder=%APPDATA%\IrfanView

The application will  create a new i_view32.ini under the end-user APPDATA Folder when you change a  setting in the application.

To automatically do this, i created a little 'script' which overwrites the .INI located in C:\Program Files(x86)\IrfanView. 

My source files for the Application Deployment includes the following files:
mELFLm.png

iview32.ini got the following info:
B5piTm.png

Install.cmd got the following commands:
HiKpVz.png

So the script installer will first install IrfanView. After this is done, it copies the i_view32.ini into C:\Program Files(x86)\IrfanView. The application will be successfully installed with the correct setting for the INI file :)
