[Startup]
BrowserPlugin: This key is only used in Tiff Viewer version 13.00 and older.
To set the file formats the Browser Plug-in is registered to when installing Tiff Viewer using the MSI installer, use the “PLUGIN” MSI parameter. For more information, please see the MSI documentation.
The BrowserPlugin key sets the file formats the Browser Plug-in is registered to when the Administrator clicks “Enable” in the Tiff Viewer main menu > Browser Plugin Switch. If the plug-in is already enabled, the Administrator has to click “Disable” then “Enable” for the changes to take effect:
Possible values:
0: Tiff Viewer was installed with the PLUGIN=0 option. This value only indicates that Tiff Viewer was installed with the Browser Plug-in disabled. If the Browser Plugin is enabled on the user interface by the Administrator, it will be associated with both JPEG and TIFF files.
1: The Browser Plug-in is associated with both JPEG and TIFF files
2: The Browser Plug-in is is associated with TIFF files, but not associated with JPEG files; therefore the Tiff Viewer Browser Plug-in will not be the default viewer to open JPEG files in Internet Explorer.
3: The Browser Plug-in is is associated with JPEG files, but not associated with TIFF files; therefore the Tiff Viewer Browser Plug-in will not be the default viewer to open Tiff files in Internet Explorer.

It is also possible to set this value to -1, which disables the limit, and copies every page uncompressed, regardless of the amount of copied pages. This should be faster, and it is the default in Tiff Viewer.
1 or greater: If the count of the copied pages is not more than the provided number, all the pages will be copied using the faster method. Otherwise, all the pages will be copied using the slower method.
0: Copy pages using the slower method, which uses less temporary space, regardless of the page count
