What is the latest known good version of JascSoftware PaintShopPro [before it went to the dark side under Corel]?
What is the latest known good version of JascSoftware PaintShopPro
(before it went to the dark side under Corel)? o Here's my running syslog (which I write for every installation...) https://i.postimg.cc/zv5SSTwn/psp01.jpg Note that I confirmed version JascSoftware psp 5.01 is a "good" version o But later JascSoftware versions may also be good (between 5 & 9 anyway) Randomly select a version that seems "old enough" to be a "good" version. o http://www.oldversion.com/windows/paint-shop-pro/ o http://www.oldversion.com/windows/download/paint-shop-pro-5-01 o Sat 10/24/2020 Name: 5.01_psp501.exe Size: 18241961 bytes (17 MiB) SHA256: 7D3ED18F0A6CF25C8F09F5241CA73A6E40599569ABEBFA3F1D BCCED614B058EB Turn the gateway off using option 1: o Win+R network (ption 1 route delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 (ption 2 route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 Check the network to ensure it's off: o Win+R curlme Where curlme runs the equivalent of the following, among other tasks: o Win+R %comspec% /k curl icanhazip.com Once confirmed the gateway is down, doubleclick on the installer. It wants to go, by default, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Paint Shop Pro 5 I put it where it belongs, in C:\app\editor\pic\psp Note: You define where it belongs; not a million different developers. By default, these components are selected: o [x]Paint Shop Pro Application Files o [x]Animation Shop Application Files o [x]Picture Tube Brushes o [x]Paint Shop Pro Sample and Tutorial Files o [x]Animation Shop Sample Files I changed that to: o [x]Paint Shop Pro Application Files o [_]Animation Shop Application Files o [_]Picture Tube Brushes o [_]Paint Shop Pro Sample and Tutorial Files o [_]Animation Shop Sample Files The installer runs to completion. o C:\app\editor\pic\psp\Psp.exe Name: Psp.exe Size: 3632128 bytes (3547 KiB) SHA256: 42CAB30E7F657C8B8C686F7305CE5C61D111992C04CCA3BED9 8DDB14BD7DCBC8 The installer does not create a desktop shortcut. o So create your own shortcut & put it where it belongs Note: You define where it belongs; not a million different developers. C:\app\editor\pic\psp\psp.exe == C:\menu\editor\pic\psp.lnk TARGET=C:\app\editor\pic\psp\psp.exe STARTIN=C:\app\editor\pic\psp If you have the "Send To" set up, use that to populate your menu: o Rightclick on the shortcut Send To... C:\menu\editor\pic\psp.lnk Which is attached to the taskbar as a foldout cascade accordion menu: Taskbar menu editor pic psp.lnk To create a Run command to start PSP, simply add this to your registry: o [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths] psp.exe=C:\app\editor\pic\psp\psp.exe ...or... psp.exe=C:\menu\editor\pic\psp.lnk Then test your new Run command: o Win+R psp Voila! o https://i.postimg.cc/zv5SSTwn/psp01.jpg Turn the gateway back on using option 2: o Win+R network (ption 1 route delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 (ption 2 route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 Post results to Usenet so that all benefit from every action taken on a PC. o Ask if anyone knows the last known good version (to save effort for all). -- PSP version 5.01 may not be the latest known good version; but it works. NOTE: In general, freeware doesn't usually improve in newer versions. |

Dumb installer - really dumb - doesn't even ask where it belongs. (Any installer that doesn't ask - is usually not worth installing.) Up pops a whole bunch of things, too fast to copy down.

Darn PaintShopPro version 5.01 adds a context menu to the recycle bin.
o Recycle Bin Browse with Paint Shop Pro Since I no longer install ccleaner, I first tried Default Programs Editor o http://defaultprogramseditor.com/ But it works on different context menus than the Recycle Bin. o (It works on the "editing" of files.) Then I tried Nirsoft "ShellEx View" http://www.nirsoft.net o But that too didn't work on the recycle bin context menu Thirdly, I tried Nirsoft "Shell Menu View" o Which was only able to "disable" that errant Recycle Bin menu Do you know if it's "safe" to simply remove this registry entry? o [HKCR\Folder\shell\Browse with Paint Shop Pro\command] Note: The Paint Shop Pro software also polluted the right click context menu for *.psp files, and the "New File" context menu, both of which I'll clean up separately, probably by using Nirsoft Shell Menu New. o New PSP5 Browser File o New Paint Shop Pro 5 Image -- The expense of freeware is learning how to deal with its quirks. |

Solved: https://i.postimg.cc/zv5SSTwn/psp01.jpg
(all three/four technical questions, pending persistence after reboot) Based on information posted today in alt.comp.freeware... 1. The latest known-good version of PSP is, most likely, version 5.01 http://www.oldversion.com/windows/download/paint-shop-pro-5-01 Name: 5.01_psp501.exe Size: 18241961 bytes (17 MiB) SHA256: 7D3ED18F0A6CF25C8F09F5241CA73A6E40599569ABEBFA3F1D BCCED614B058EB Name: psp.exe Size: 3632128 bytes (3547 KiB) SHA256: 42CAB30E7F657C8B8C686F7305CE5C61D111992C04CCA3BED9 8DDB14BD7DCBC8 2. I disabled the PSP errant Recycle Bin context menu Using Nirsoft "Shell Menu View" freeware [HKCR\Folder\shell\Browse with Paint Shop Pro\command] 3. I disabled the PSP errant "New" menu with Nirsoft "Shell Menu New" [HKCR\.psp\ShellNew] 4. I created a new custom context menu for editing "psp" files using Default Programs Editor http://defaultprogramseditor.com/ In summary, psp version 5.01 is apparently successfully installed: a. INSTALLER === x:\app\editor\pic\psp\{5.01_psp501.exe,syslog.log} b. INSTALLED === c:\app\editor\pic\psp\psp.exe c. SHORTCUT === c:\menu\editor\pic\psp\psp.lnk d. MENU === Taskbar menu editor pic psp e. APPPATH === [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths] f. COMMAND === Win+R psp https://i.postimg.cc/zv5SSTwn/psp01.jpg -- The high expense of freeware is learning how to deal with its quirks. |
