Hi,

i would like to install the newest version of vista codec package, but i cant. I start it and after some secs an error message is coming (look at the screen). I have vista ultimate 32bit. No firewall,antivirus or whatever. What should i try? Or, what does this message means?

Thank you

with version 5.0.3 the same problem. And thanks for ignoring me ^^

I wasnt ignoring you, I simply forgot to reply. (you got my attention now though)

The only time I've seen that error is on a system that had an operating system other than english but the user had installed the default english selection. The fix is to re-install the same version you previously had choosing the same language as the operating system. (hopefully you know the version).

Same problem overhere... I get this message when truing to install new version 5.04 and I receive the error when trying to uninstall the old version 4.72.

Is there a solution? Of is there a workaround or manual method for removing?

Have the same problem with 504 on my Laptop. What can I do. Thanks

I am unable to reproduce the error making it difficult to resolve the issue.
I beleive some antivirus / security software is causing this issue.

At this time, all I can suggest is re-installing the version refusing to uninstall
and then try the ununstaller again.

The problem (error code) appears but with installing the new version (5.04) as while (re)installing and/or unistalling the old version 4.72.
I have manually removed the entire installationfolder (before unloading with regsvr32 or someting the ffshow or something (dont know the exact name).

So at this point I can not do anything else... The virusscanner is diabled... any registry handling spossible?

Hi,

Two days ago i reinstalled my vista and after that i could install the codec package AND today i tried to install the newest version 5.0.6 but i cant. The same error. So i have to reinstall my vista again, if i want to use this codec packge xD I think this is not the best option. Sooo... i dont know. Maybe the error is only on "non-english" systems or something, i wish you guys could fix it. Good luck



Edit: On my Vista 64 i had never problems with Vista Codec Package x64 Components - but if i want to install there the standard Vista Codec Package(5.x.x), then i get the same error. That can help... maybe

Sry my english ist not soo good. Did i understand you correctly: i have to reinstall the language in vista? or what do you mean...

Thanks

When executing the installer
the 1st thing you see is language selection.

Choose the same language as the Operating System (Windows)
