C. Manual installation

Alternatively there may be cases you want to manually copy the existing Exr-IO plugin from another, existing Photoshop installation or from another computer to your current working version. In this case, you can manually copy the installed Exr-IO.8bi plugin to your Photoshop plugins. In order to do it, please locate the installed plugin in some other existing Photoshop installation (path: \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop\Plug-ins) to your Photoshop plugin folder. The folder you have to manually add Exr-IO.8bi is located in your: \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Version\Plug-ins. Since the plugin is not installed using the installer, if you want to remove it, you need to delete it manually from this location.

Using official Exr-IO Installer

The Exr-IO installer provides 2 different ways to install the plug-in.

Exr-IO Installer

The default option will automatically search for the Photoshop plug-in directories and install the corresponding version of Exr-IO to them.

Alternatively an explicit install path can be provided for the 64 bit or 32 bit versions of the plug-in. These options can be used for custom plug-in locations that can’t be automatically detected.

Silent Installation

The Exr-IO installer supports the following command line switches for silent installation:

/S

Initiates silent installation mode. If this flag is omitted the installer will run with a window.

/DONTAUTOINSTALL

Disables the default option to automatically detect Photoshop installations and their plug-in directories.

/INSTALLPATH64

This option can be used to provide a custom path into which the 64 bit version of the plug-in should be installed.

/INSTALLPATH32

This option can be used to provide a custom path into which the 32 bit version of the plug-in should be installed.
