ADVANCED PARAMETERS
/wiareg /wr			Registers WIA components. Use if WIA errors are thrown during execution
/debug /d			Creates an XML file containing scanner information. Should be included in any bug report
/register /reg		Registers iCopy to the scanner buttons.
/unregister /unreg	Unregisters iCopy from the scanner button applications.

4) Known bugs & solutions 
-------------------------
* Wiaaut.dll not registered error.
	iCopy asks if you want to register WIA Automation Layer. If it fails in doing so, you can register it manually:
		* Copy the file wiaaut.dll that you find in iCopy directory to C:\Windows\system32\
		* Open a Prompt command with administrator rights
		* Enter commands:
			cd C:\Windows\system32\
			regsvr32 wiaaut.dll			
		* You should receive a confirmation of wiaaut.dll registration	

	Now iCopy should run as expected.

* Scanner isn't recognized by iCopy
	If you think that your scanner is WIA compatible but it isn't recognized by iCopy, try to run icopy with the -diag parameter and post the log to iCopy bug tracker.
