Joerg,

Until now I've thought the extract and replace approach was best for upgrading IER in shared Pmail installations like ours but the updating of VIEWER.PM by the IER installer puts a wrinkle in that thinking. I wonder if copying VIEWER.PM from one Pmail installation to another would cause any problems. I'm thinking of copying the one on my home laptop for use in the office.

BTW, I think you switched your VIEWER.PM content listings because mine, which is old, is identical to the one you listed as new except for .ics and .vcs entries that I had added.

In an attempt to address reported issues with IERenderer 2.6.2.0 Michael released 2.6.2.1 quickly followed by 2.6.2.2.

http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/community_add-ons_for_pegasus_mail/entry24145.aspx

Reported problems were:

Images not being displayed
No browser submenu

I suspect that installation method might play a role based on my experience upgrading to 2.6.2.1 (I haven't tried 2.6.2.2 yet).

To upgrade IER on my laptop Pmail I ran IERendererSetup.exe. I did not experience either of the above problems.

I updated IER on a flash drive install of Pmail by just replacing files with a newer version from the extract of IERendererSetup.exe. This caused problems. Some html messages no longer displayed (white space in the reader window) and the browser submenu no longer worked. The fix was to replace all IER related files with the ones from the extracted installer.

Brian et al,

IERenderer 2.6.2 all versions. It is important that you ensure that all files embedded in the setup package get installed, not just the IERenderer.dll. You will notice in particular that two Pegasus Mail files in c:\pmail\programs have a dramatic change in filesizes, namely Viewer.pm and FileType.pm. This seems to be in order to support all kinds of video, audio, and images. Included are Mime descriptions as well as just file extensions.

I looked up the Windows Registry and found the source of this data, its huge, and it seems Michael extracted just these classes of files, rather than all file types known to man, and Microsoft !! I am not sharing the Windows Registry Url at present as it would likely be overwhelming to most mortals.... Let me know if you want to explore this stuff.

Hi Martin and Brian,

The word "Windows Registry" triggered me .

Does your comment regarding the Registry mean, these Registry Keys are needed on each user machine? I intended to start the IE Renderer setup from my machine (only) with an installation path at the server share where Pmail\Program resides and all users could automatically use the new IE Renderer in our multi user environment after restarting Pmail. Is this not longer possible?

AFAIK, IER doesn't create registry entries. It just uses the ones from the local system for determining available browsers.

I'm currently runnning IER v2.6.2.0 at the office and it has been working fine. I don't feel an urgent need to upgrade to 2.6.2.2 but if I have it running at home and on my flash driver installation without any problems.

At the office I install it by replacing the files from an unpacked ierenderersetup.exe. Neither pmail nor IER are "installed" on the server here.

You are right IER doesn't use Windows Registry It seems Michael extracted a whole list of entries, which are now in Viewer.pm from the registry directly.

Brian and Joerg,

I have sent you some information, offline, regarding Registry user impact (none)

Guys,

I suspect that the latest Viewer.pm came from Microsoft's large insertion of filetypes into the standard Registry, so all users who run Windows will eventually have them, either by Windows Update process, or by local administrators, doing the populating of systems. I believe that IER could be using the Registry directly, but that would be an alternative way of getting the definitions, but this would be a change of direction for Pegasus Mail, which for the longest time has tried to remain independent of OS levels.

On a local level I have received several (not a lot) messages with differing media devices, like tablets and IPhones, which use some of these new definitions. Without the definitions somewhere, Pegasus Mail will have nothing to define the displaying engines. Right clicking on html pages or the grey image boxes may get them a display..(via Display in Browser)..

Finally, for now your question on .ICS and .VCS, neither of these appear in Filetype.pm or Viewer.pm. I have been recommending using NewMail rules to detect these attachment types and invoke Pmical.exe, which avoids this problem. But just to clarify, these filetypes are in the Windows Registry with both file extension information, and Mime Content-type text definitions.

Joerg,

All Windows systems have a Registry which belongs to Microsoft, that users get to use for lookups and configuration details. It is so un-user friendly that no one in their right mind would want to fool around with the Registry. There are plenty of warnings about users trying to update it, which can destroy the Windows system.

Another piece of information, GDIPLUS is the engine in Windows systems that does the actual drawing of images, and contains only a few image types, see:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/winforms/advanced/types-of-bitmaps Types Jpg, Gif, and Png are the most popular. All the other types seem to be derivatives of these base protocols.

Hi Brian, Martin and other guys,

Just installed the new IER 2.6.2.2 in our multi user Mercury/Pmail environment by starting the setup process from my local W7 client machine. The setup automatically detected our shared network path to Pmail\Programs [\\server\Pmail$\Programs\] and has installed all files thereto without errors. But when restarting Pmail it crashes immediately with runtime error 217 at 055FC4C9. Another message told something about an IER dll problem.

Then I brought my Pmail backup back into operation, copied only the installed IER files from the new installation into my previous installation to Pmail\Programs\IERenderer (contain BearhelpIE.css, BearHlpIE.js, BearHlpIE-de.htm, BearHlpIE-en.htm, IERenderer.dll, LibTidy5.dll), and that's it. Now Pmail is running again and IER shows 2.6.2.2.

The new installed VIEWER.PM (which doesn't work) contained the following:

Now Pmail is running again and IER shows 2.6.2.2.The new installed VIEWER.PM (which doesn't work) contained the following:1;.ADE;-;Warn 1;.ADP;-;Warn 1;.ASP;-;Warn 1;.BAS;-;Warn 1;.BAT;-;Warn 1;.CHM;-;Warn 1;.CMD;-;Warn 1;.COM;-;Warn 1;.CPL;-;Warn 1;.CRT;-;Warn 1;.EXE;-;Warn 1;.HLP;-;Warn 1;.HTA;-;Warn 1;.INF;-;Warn 1;.INS;-;Warn 1;.ISP;-;Warn 1;.JS;-;Warn 1;.JSE;-;Warn 1;.LNK;-;Warn 1;.MDB;-;Warn 1;.MDE;-;Warn 1;.MSC;-;Warn 1;.MSI;-;Warn 1;.MSP;-;Warn 1;.MST;-;Warn 1;.PCD;-;Warn 1;.PIF;-;Warn 1;.REG;-;Warn 1;.SCR;-;Warn 1;.SCT;-;Warn 1;.SHB;-;Warn 1;.SHS;-;Warn 1;.URL;-;Warn 1;.VB;-;Warn 1;.VBE;-;Warn 1;.VBS;-;Warn 1;.WS;-;Warn 1;.WSC;-;Warn 1;.WSF;-;Warn 1;.WSH;-;Warn Our original central server based VIEWER.PM which is now in place again contains:1;.ADE;-;Warn 1;.ADP;-;Warn 1;.ASP;-;Warn 1;.BAS;-;Warn 1;.BAT;-;Warn 1;.CHM;-;Warn 1;.CMD;-;Warn 1;.COM;-;Warn 1;.CPL;-;Warn 1;.CRT;-;Warn 1;.EXE;-;Warn 1;.HLP;-;Warn 1;.HTA;-;Warn 1;.INF;-;Warn 1;.INS;-;Warn 1;.ISP;-;Warn 1;.JS;-;Warn 1;.JSE;-;Warn 1;.LNK;-;Warn 1;.MDB;-;Warn 1;.MDE;-;Warn 1;.MSC;-;Warn 1;.MSI;-;Warn 1;.MSP;-;Warn 1;.MST;-;Warn 1;.PCD;-;Warn 1;.PIF;-;Warn 1;.REG;-;Warn 1;.SCR;-;Warn 1;.SCT;-;Warn 1;.SHB;-;Warn 1;.SHS;-;Warn 1;.URL;-;Warn 1;.VB;-;Warn 1;.VBE;-;Warn 1;.VBS;-;Warn 1;.WS;-;Warn 1;.WSC;-;Warn 1;.WSF;-;Warn 1;.WSH;-;Warn 1;.3G2;.3g2;- 1;.3GP;.3gp;- 1;.ADTS;.adts;- 1;.AIFF;.aiff;- 1;.ASX;.asx;- 1;.AU;.au;- 1;.AVI;.avi;- 1;.BMP;.bmp;- 1;.DDS;.dds;- 1;.EMF;.emf;- 1;.GIF;.gif;- 1;.ICO;.ico;- 1;.JPG;.jpg;- 1;.M3U;.m3u;- 1;.M4A;.m4a;- 1;.MID;.mid;- 1;.MOV;.mov;- 1;.MP3;.mp3;- 1;.MP4;.mp4;- 1;.MPEG;.mpeg;- 1;.OGA;.oga;- 1;.OGG;.ogg;- 1;.OGV;.ogv;- 1;.PNG;.png;- 1;.SVG;.svg;- 1;.TIFF;.tiff;- 1;.TTS;.tts;- 1;.WAV;.wav;- 1;.WAX;.wax;- 1;.WDP;.wdp;- 1;.WM;.wm;- 1;.WMA;.wma;- 1;.WMF;.wmf;- 1;.WMV;.wmv;- 1;.WMX;.wmx;- 1;.WVX;.wvx;- 2;application/ogg;.ogg;- 2;audio/3gpp;.3gp;- 2;audio/3gpp2;.3g2;- 2;audio/aiff;.aiff;- 2;audio/basic;.au;- 2;audio/mid;.mid;- 2;audio/midi;.mid;- 2;audio/mp3;.mp3;- 2;audio/mp4;.m4a;- 2;audio/mpeg;.mp3;- 2;audio/mpegurl;.m3u;- 2;audio/mpg;.mp3;- 2;audio/ogg;.oga;- 2;audio/vnd.dlna.adts;.adts;- 2;audio/wav;.wav;- 2;audio/x-aiff;.aiff;- 2;audio/x-mid;.mid;- 2;audio/x-midi;.mid;- 2;audio/x-mp3;.mp3;- 2;audio/x-mpeg;.mp3;- 2;audio/x-mpegurl;.m3u;- 2;audio/x-mpg;.mp3;- 2;audio/x-ms-wax;.wax;- 2;audio/x-ms-wma;.wma;- 2;audio/x-wav;.wav;- 2;image/bmp;.bmp;- 2;image/gif;.gif;- 2;image/jpeg;.jpg;- 2;image/pjpeg;.jpg;- 2;image/png;.png;- 2;image/svg+xml;.svg;- 2;image/tiff;.tiff;- 2;image/vnd.ms-dds;.dds;- 2;image/vnd.ms-photo;.wdp;- 2;image/x-emf;.emf;- 2;image/x-icon;.ico;- 2;image/x-png;.png;- 2;image/x-wmf;.wmf;- 2;midi/mid;.mid;- 2;video/3gpp;.3gp;- 2;video/3gpp2;.3g2;- 2;video/avi;.avi;- 2;video/mp4;.mp4;- 2;video/mpeg;.mpeg;- 2;video/mpg;.mpeg;- 2;video/msvideo;.avi;- 2;video/ogg;.ogv;- 2;video/quicktime;.mov;- 2;video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts;.tts;- 2;video/x-mpeg;.mpeg;- 2;video/x-mpeg2a;.mpeg;- 2;video/x-ms-asf;.asx;- 2;video/x-ms-asf-plugin;.asx;- 2;video/x-msvideo;.avi;- 2;video/x-ms-wm;.wm;- 2;video/x-ms-wmv;.wmv;- 2;video/x-ms-wmx;.wmx;- 2;video/x-ms-wvx;.wvx;- And our present FILETYPE.PM at the server share contains (beside a lot of comment in the first lines):MS-Word,1,S,0,\219\165\045 PCEXE,1,X,0,.EXE,S,0,MZ PCEXE,1,X,0,.DLL,S,0,MZ ZIP-archive,0,X,0,.ZIP,S,0,PK\003 MS-Richtext,0,X,0,.RTF,S,0,{\092rtf Program-source,0,X,0,.C,X,0,.H,X,0,.PAS,X,0,.RC,X,0,.CPP,X,0,.BAS,X,0,.ASM GIF-image,0,X,0,.GIF,S,0,GIF JPEG-image,0,X,0,.JPG,S,6,JFIF BMP-image,0,X,0,.BMP,X,0,.DIB,S,0,BM WAV-sound-file,1,S,0,RIFF,S,8,WAVE WAV-sound-file,0,X,0,.WAV WordPerfect,0,S,1,WPC Excel-sheet,0,X,0,.XLS Excel-chart,0,X,0,.XLC MS-Access,0,X,0,.MDB AVI-Movie,1,S,0,RIFF,S,8,AVI AVI-Movie,0,X,0,.AVI Windows-help,1,X,0,.HLP,S,0,?_\003 HTML-text,0,X,0,.HTM HTML-text,1,S,0,&lt;HTML&gt; PGP-Public-Key,0,R,0,BEGIN PGP PUBLIC PGP-encrypted,0,X,0,.PGP Text,0,X,0,.TXT &nbsp;Neither .ics nor .vcs are appear within those files.

Another piece of information, GDIPLUS is the engine in Windows systems that does the actual drawing of images, and contains only a few image types, see:
