Can't skip first launch screen v5.5.7.26

[brod...@gmail.com]

We are trying to deploy using Landesk.

Trying to deploy to Win10 64bit 1709 (build 16299.309)

We Install with the silent switch.

We xcopy the igconfig file to \Program Files\ImageGlass

This igconfig file has been copied from another computer that has already run the First Launch wizard.

<ImageGlass>

  <Configuration>

    <Info description="ImageGlass Configuration file" version="4.0" />

    <Content>

      <Item key="AppVersion" value="5.5.7.26" />

      <Item key="FirstLaunchVersion" value="5" />

      <Item key="Language" value="" />

      <Item key="Theme" value="C:\Program Files\ImageGlass\DefaultTheme\config.xml" />

      <Item key="ToolbarButtons" value="0,1,-1,2,3,4,5,7,11,-1,22,9,10,6,8,-1,12,13,14,-1,15,16,17,18,19,20,21," />

      <Item key="MouseWheelAction" value="1" />

      <Item key="MouseWheelCtrlAction" value="2" />

      <Item key="MouseWheelShiftAction" value="3" />

      <Item key="MouseWheelAltAction" value="0" />

      <Item key="ZoomLockValue" value="-1" />

      <Item key="frmMain.WindowsBound" value="280,125,1000,800" />

      <Item key="frmMain.WindowsState" value="Normal" />

      <Item key="IsShowCheckedBackground" value="False" />

      <Item key="IsShowToolBar" value="True" />

      <Item key="IsShowThumbnailScroll" value="False" />

      <Item key="IsWindowAlwaysOnTop" value="False" />

      <Item key="ZoomMode" value="AutoZoom" />

      <Item key="IsShowThumbnail" value="False" />

      <Item key="IsThumbnailHorizontal" value="True" />

      <Item key="ThumbnailBarWidth" value="623" />

      <Item key="IsShowColorPickerOnStartup" value="False" />

    </Content>

  </Configuration>

</ImageGlass>

When we go to launch Image Glass it still wants us to go through the wizard.

We can click Skip and it opens to a blank page.

We then close the program and re-open and it works as it should.

We are a community college and some of our students might not understand opening and then closing and re-opening...

We noticed that there is no value to the Language. 

Could this be our problem?

A reasonable guess, but if the language is not specified, the default is English, i.e. "built-in".

The igconfig.xml file is used when ImageGlass determines it is running in "portable mode". This determination is solely

based on whether the user has the privileges to write to the IG installation folder.

Since the wizard is being invoked, it most likely means the user account does not. IG will then be looking for configuration

settings in the Registry, not finding any, and invoke the wizard. [Using 'skip' then establishes default settings.]

You can verify this by running IG on a User machine, and then look in the registry for the folder \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PhapSoftware\ImageGlass;

if that exists, IG is not using igconfig.xml.

You can:

1. Insure that \\program files\ImageGlass, has Write (and probably Modify) access enabled for the Users group. If being under \\program files

causes issues, you might consider installing to a different location.

2. Clone the ImageGlass registry folder as part of the install process, bypassing igconfig.xml. Insure the key

\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PhapSoftware\ImageGlass\FirstLaunchVersion has the value 5.

I apologize for the hassle, and the lack of documentation on this. Please let us know if I have made any mistake or if you still have

difficulties!

Thanks for the feedback! I've captured this to the IG wiki as a documentation placeholder.
