From: maphew on 15 Feb 2007 12:49 What are the command line options for WIAACMGR.EXE (Windows Image Acquisition and Control Manager m, a.k.a. Scanner and Camera Wizard)? Viewing the properties for the default shortcut shows "... \system32\wiaacmgr.exe -SelectDevice" implies that there are others. My end goal is to be able to create a shortcut which starts the scan/ camera wizard with a specific device, and select a default Save To folder (and perhaps even a default filename). The same question to Experts Exchange revealed a couple of others (wiaacmgr.exe -SelectDevice -ShellExecuteEx -Image) are there more? http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/XP/Q_22389667.html
From: Wesley Vogel on 15 Feb 2007 21:13 As near as I can tell, none of those "switches" does anything other than what typing wiaacmgr into the Run command does, starts the Scanner and Camera Wizard. ShellExecuteEx is Windows shell function. I doubt that it's a switch for wiaacmgr. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/shellexecuteex.asp?frame=true C:\os\winxp\system32\wiaacmgr.exe is a very unlikely path. C:\WINDOWS\system32\wiaacmgr.exe or C:\WINNT\system32\wiaacmgr.exe would be more likely. I have the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service disabled and use 3rd party software with my scanner. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

From: maphew on 16 Feb 2007 14:37 thanks for the ShellExecute link, maybe something will turn up in there. As for the command parameters not doing anything -SelectDevice at least should do something, after all the wizard shows a different set of options when a usb memory stick is plugged in than when a scanner is. So *something* is being passed. Maybe it's not via wiaacmgr though. what is the 3rd party tool you use?

> what is the 3rd party tool you use? ScanSoft PaperPort 8.0. It came bundled with my Visioneer OneTouch scanner. I also used an older version with my old scanner. They are up to version 11 now. Nuance - Paperport 11 http://www.nuance.com/paperport/ -- Hope this helps. Let us know.
