XnView MP stands for Multi Platform = it is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS. It is a continuation of the older XnView Classic. In my opinion it is a great alternative to Windows photos app or any Linux image viewer that comes preinstalled. I even think it is an alternative to IrfanView. It is really fast and simple to use, supports more than 500 image formats, has built in folder browser, image converter, editor... AND MORE!

I'm curious, where is your PTS folder? If you put it in c:\program files or c:\program files (x86), it might cause problems. More info here: https://systemax.jp/en/sai/. Source: about 1 year ago
I would contact Systemax Software, the maker of SAI. Here's their website: https://systemax.jp/en/sai/. Source: almost 2 years ago
Where did you download it from? If you didn't get it from https://systemax.jp/en/sai/ then it could be sideloaded malware. Source: over 2 years ago
