Image Compressor 2008 - Image Manager

#1 Post by webfork »

Short version: stay away.

Synopsis: Image manager I was hoping would work as an alternative to Microsoft Office Photo Editor, which I still use over a lot of great free options.

Status: Setup on this one was a pain and not ultimately worth it. Along with all the other problems, it also writes to HKU/Software/Masrizal

The process below resulted in a bunch of error messages and then ultimately asks you for an email address to register. It closes when you refuse (as I did).
  1. Download, unzip, uniexract (with "InstallSheild /b switch" option) and click OK.
    Choose OK when prompted and then cancel the installation process.
  2. Re-run Uniextract on:
    IMC2008F_6800\uni_mjaeosl\Image Compressor 2008 Free Edition.msi with default settings (just click ok when prompted)
  3. Move files from inside Image Compressor 2008 Free Edition\program files\MasRizal\IMC2008 to a folder of your choice
  4. Launch IMC.exe
EDIT: The home page doesn't even list the program anymore and the softpedia mirror only shows the demo version: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedi ... ssor.shtml
