Hello warlord,

If you do not send me some of those corrupt files, IOW give me no context at all, then this is pretty much a useless comment no matter how many '+' it.

FWIW about 80% - 90% of the JPEGs people send to me are beyond repair. Not because I can not repair them, but because they do not actually contain JPEG data even though they're files with a .JPG extension.

it would be nice and fair if you follow up on your comment and send me some files so I can see if it's JPG-Repair missing something here, or that your files are simply beyond repair.

This actually seems like a portable program:
1. Extract the zip to a folder (I recommend a parent folder in one of your hard drives, Drive C or D or whatever as it shouldn't *need* to be on the OS drive), run setup and allow Internet connection, then register it but copy and pasting the license into the box provided. Program ran automatically after that and was registered (for me anyways).
I saw no files created except the license file in the extracted folder so it remembers that it's registered.
The program *seems* to work on my old test OS (Windows XP SP3). I don't have a "corrupt" jpg to test it with though so I cannot comment on how well it works..
Anyways, putting it on a flash drive (with the license) would theoretically work as I saw no other files or registry entries created running it or registering it (except for the before-mentioned key file).
One caveat though I should mention is that Internet is REQUIRED! It will not even run if it can't phone home. Checking license perhaps? All I know is that when I prevented it from phoning home, it produced an error:
Run-time error '-2147012889 (80072ee7)':
The server name or address could not be resolved

So if you're like me and don't like letting programs phone home, you might want to pass on this one..
My 2 cents (and observations).

Trying 2 b Helpful,

With regards to internet connection:

It is NOT required but it is a bug in the version that I gave GOTD. it is fixed in the version on my website.

So, internet access, what does it do? JPG-Repair when launched simply touches, I don't know how else to call it, an empty web page on my website. So, in my server stats I can sort of see how often the program was run. That's all I get from that.

Version 1.9.2 does correct the error where it crashes if it can not reach the page.

I find it very upsetting, and odd at same time, that User Comments up top have more negative than positive votes, especially for a GOTD giveaway where the developer has been so upbeat, upfront, helpful and wanting feedback. Most developer's who offer GOTD giveaways sit back on their laurels and offer little help in here. (that's where the good "deal" samaritan's step up and offer help, and for that I am grateful)
