XYplorer Beta Club

At least with Sumatra (maybe the others you tried too) you have to actually choose to install the optional preview handler component during install, did you?

Also I would reverse this process, uninstall first, then install.

That's exactly what I did.

Not really, I've installed first the 32-bit version, which don't have this option, so when installing the 64-bit version, I didn't bother to look for options.

Now I installed again the 64-bit version with this option checked, and also set the correct GUID in XYplorer and is working fine!

What I really would want, is to have only one pdf reader installed (foxit, the one I like better), but for now I will settle for this solution.

Thanks very much for your help.

May be you didn't install the shell extensions while installing Foxit ?

For Foxit there is even a stand-alone version of its previewer.
It works fine with XY but it has the disadvantage that all previewed files are first copied to temp.
Its GUID is
{32a6a30d-c68e-4f7a-aa4c-2fa9011b0717}

It's been ages that I installed Foxit I didn't remeber it wasn't installed with this option.

I've uninstalled Sumatra and reinstalled Foxit with shell extensions option and now it's working fine, didn't even needed to set the GUID.

Thanks very much!
