should be ticked if you use e.g. Sumatra 64-bit

Thanks for the inputs.

Its goofy as some things work for me on Laptop vs others on Desktop. - I am wondering if I should UNINSTALL/ NUKE with Uninstall Cleaning and start fresh.

But afraid I may I break it further and lose out existing working.

Is there a procedure & files VERSIONS you'd recommend?
PS: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=PDFthumbs

I read something about Sumatra needing a "Non Stable special version to work" - Not sure where I read that.

I'm using Sumatra x64 (https://forum.sumatrapdfreader.org/t/eb ... dows/505/4)
and it works absolutely fine previewing pdf and epub...

You had mentioned this here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22024&p=186285#p186285

It might be necessary to install the x64 version from here (https://mega.nz/folder/WwIiFDyZ#eA2g4lws9YNOuEI0a9Dkpw)
to be able to preview .epub / .mobi...

So my cumulative question is - is this still applicable / requirement (the Pre Release) ? instead of Stable Release?

That isn't a pre-release, it's a different version with a different feature set and you can use the current stable (of the original Sumatra) as well

Had to go through all these threads again - I do not see these options in that Section - 20.90. Old or maybe 32 bit?

Is there a summary or detail as to what this diff ver & feature set entail?

So I updated XY Plorer to latest Setup from site, and Sumatra x64 3.3.3 install from siite. (even prev 3.2 had same Error response).

Also enabled the settings you suggested.

And now its back to just showing the "TEXT" of the selected PDFs. Go figure.

Should I uninstall both and fresh install? Do I need to install x32 Sumatra instead? Or is this some trigger from pre installed PDF X Change?

And my previous version of the older versions on my laptop work all fine. Here' on desktop. Poof!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Execute fresh; from the address bar,

tick both settings in this fresh instance:

Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | [x] Fall back to preview handlers of the other bitness

and then show a screenshot of the full XY window with the preview pane open and a .pdf selected

Did not notice. A bit sleepy. Sorry, here it is: Let me know if there' anything else ya need.

Are you using User-Defined Preview Handlers? Did you supply a valid GUID?

He does not, at least not in the fresh instance.

Execute this in the fresh and in the configured instance and post the results:
text get("previewhandler", "pdf") . <crlf> . "Assoc: " . get("assoc", "pdf");

This does not give correct results in my environment.
I have installed SumatraPDF and its used if a PDF file is double clicked
but I have set the PDF-XChange Editor as PDF preview handler, which is realy used by XY.
The text get command line says SumatraPDF is preview handler which is wrong.

The return looks alright to me.

The first 3 lines are from:
text get("previewhandler", "pdf") . <crlf> . ...

The last line is from:
... "Assoc: " . get("assoc", "pdf");

You are right
Didn't read enough, it was to late.
