[AlternaTIFF :: ActiveX installation]

AlternaTIFF ActiveX auto-installation for Internet Explorer

AlternaTIFF is not yet installed. If there is a yellow "information bar" above, click it and choose "Install This Add-on..." or "Install ActiveX Control". For more information, read the rest of this page.

If you have problems:

  • Note that this page requires Internet Explorer, version 4 or higher. For other web browsers, go to our main page.
  • Read the FAQ for troubleshooting suggestions.
  • Refresh this page (press F5) to try again.

Follow any instructions given by your web browser. One or more additional steps are usually necessary to approve the software download and installation.

Note that if you have QuickTime installed, you are likely to have problems at some point, because QuickTime includes its own ActiveX TIFF viewer. Read our information about resolving QuickTime conflicts.

After installation, if you have never installed AlternaTIFF on your computer before, you will need to register AlternaTIFF. In that case, you will see the message "TIFF viewer not registered. Click here to register." at the top of this page. Click where it says to, and follow the instructions.

When you see the message "the AlternaTIFF ActiveX control is installed in your browser" at the top of this page, you're done. You can visit our test page to verify that everything is working.
