You may want to research into this company further. Found a few links to Websites that offer suspiciously similar (same) product.

Btw, I could not scan K-Lite_Codec_Pack_700_Standard.exe (in Redist folder) because it is PW protected. Don't have much time right now to look into this further but I think a caution about this one is warranted.

Being able to open so many types of files is like a dream come true, that's why this app is here for discussion.
Thanks for the warning!

I have always preferred separate tools for separate tasks. In general if something is good for everything it is good for nothing.

I'm not saying this is the case for this product, it is only my hard-coded prejudice

According to some WOT comments, it puts adware on your computer: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/freeopener.com

Still, definitely interested in programs like this so definitely keep us updated on stuff you find like it.

I used UE to extract the files, so there was no interaction with InstallQ.
It does try to connect to the internet when I start the program, though, but I blocked it with my firewall.

Old thread update:

• EDIT: Skip this one. There's a reason the download was only 3.5 megs: it's a downloader program and, with the site offline, it doesn't work.

  I came across this again on a "must have" freeware article. Main website is offline but it's still on Softpedia.
