Ardfry Psd Codec 1.7 Silent Install Mshaz1000.exe May 2026

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ardfry\PSD Codec" /v Version

Expected output: Version REG_SZ 1.7

Also verify file presence:

dir "%ProgramFiles%\Ardfry\PSD Codec\"

Cause: The repackaged mshaz1000.exe may not support InnoSetup switches if it was compressed with a different tool. Ardfry PSD Codec 1.7 Silent Install mshaz1000.exe

Solution: Try the universal MSI silent switch if the file is MSI-wrapped:

mshaz1000.exe /quiet /norestart

Or extract the MSI first:

mshaz1000.exe /extract:"C:\temp\extracted"

Then run:

msiexec /i "ArdfryPSDCodec.msi" /qn /norestart

Cause: Adobe’s own PSD thumbnail provider (part of Bridge or Creative Cloud) may conflict. reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ardfry\PSD Codec" /v Version

Solution: Disable Adobe’s provider from File Type associations:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.psd\ShellEx\BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1" /ve /d "" /f

If you are rolling this out via a login script or a management tool like SCCM, you can use a simple batch file. Expected output: Version REG_SZ 1
