Quick guess:
A previous version of the pack has not been uninstalled or has uninstalled incorrectly. The file l3codecx.old still exists and needs removing prior to the new install.

[swgreed]

Updated to version 3.4!

Updated in 3.4:
* DivX 6.7.0 [Decoder]
* Cyberlink DVD Decoder [version 8.0.0.2103]
* AC3 Filter 1.46b + CPL

[toe_cutter]

So yeah, installed this via inf on an already running system (vista 32bit). All but l3codecx.ax got copied, but it still didnt work with wmp11 and mpc. So i looked for an uninstall, but couldnt find any I also tried to manually delete the files but could only remove 15 or so files, and the control panel applets are still there but not working.

Suggestions?

To be honest with you, I've no idea if this pack is VISTA ready and it's been a long time since I looked at the installation to know whether it can be improved in that regard.

Any attempt to change the pack too much would be reasonably pointless due to the existence of the Vista Codec Package already available here.

[swgreed]

Right, a second "Vista Codec Pack" would indeed be rather pointless.
Maybe I should rename this one here to "MSFN XP Codec-Pack"

If you unzip the installer-exe (e.g. with WinRAR) you can easily find out, which files were added to your system32 directory. Control panel applets have an .cpl extension.
I guess Vista is really rather strict on admin rights. This might be the reason why it doesn't install properly...

[toe_cutter]

Yeah, i realized that after checking the Vista forum and its codecpack (which didnt work either, but that could be because of this pack still being in there)

But i havent changed the pack whatsoever :/

Maybe XP in the name would be better
I tried to remove the files (copy into system32, they stay selected, shift+delete) but Vista complains about access on some files, i havent tried safemode yet tho.
I ran the codecpack with admin rights too, no dice :/.. ah well, safemode it is hopefully.. Thanks for a great XP pack tho

reuploaded again:

iconv.dll was missing (needed for registering ac3filter.ax successfully)

[swgreed]

For those of you who want total codecs and constant updates...
checkout

Cole2k

Its pretty **** good. and silent parameters work like a dream.

I saw that you posted this in 2004, and was quite surprised that Cole2k.net isn't just still there, but is also up to date!

very nice...



The original post with the MSFN codec pack was edited recently, but it wasn't mentioned if the actual codec pack had been brought up to date, or if its still all codecs from 2004...

[Yzöwl]

Did you take a look at the first post where it provided you with the versions of the codecs supplied, (or did you think that thirty eight pages of nothing had happened in four years).

[lostlad]

I'm presently testing my first unattended install figured with SP3 available I'd might as well clean
up the PC. I Registered to say thank you for advice (Which I will do) but found this codec pack
and hoped to include in version2 of my unattended install (version one still installing into Virtual PC has demonstrated a typo issue).

But when I try to I get these german words in red writing

Download verweigert

Es wurde kein gültiger Referrer übergeben.

which babel fishes to:
Download does not refuse it became g?iger Referrer?rgeben. Ask?rpr?n you if necessary your Firewall attitudes.

Any Ideas?

It's the same mechanism ATI uses to prevent deeplinking on their sites...
Just make sure your firewall does not block your HTTP-Referrer.
(If it's still not working, just PM me)

It was OPera I had Refferer Logging turned off.
Got it with Firefox.

Only getting around to finishing my slipstream now.
My ISO burn failed, at the end. I was gutted and turned off machine.

Where may older versions of the codec pack be acquired?

[Yzöwl]

Which version(s) are you looking for?, or what exactly is it you're after?

If I have time I may be able to check through some of my data backups!

I have had dificulty finding information about what codecs were included in version previous to 3.6 of the MSFN codec pack. I have not been able to determine what codecs should be included in versions greater than 3.3 and less than 3.6.

I am looking for versions 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 of the MSFN codec packs.

[Yzöwl]

Well unfortunately I've been unable to locate anything other than v3.4!

Here's the ReadMe contents just in case it helps:

 
MSFN Codec Pack v3.4

* DivX 6.7.0 [Decoder]
* XviD 1.1.3 build 2007-06-28 [Encoder/Decoder]
* Windows Media 9 VCM [version 9.0.1.1184] [Encoder]
* Windows Media 10 [version 10.0.0.4332]
* Windows Media DirectShow Decoder [version 8.0.0.4487]
* Cyberlink DVD Decoder [version 8.0.0.2103]
* Elecard MPEG 2 Demultiplexer [version 2.0.84.30429]
* Ligos Indeo XP [version 5.2820.15.58]
* Intel Indeo [version 4.51.16.2]
* Intel Indeo [version 3.24.15.03]
* Intel I.263 [version 2.55.1.16]
* MS MPEG-4 [version 4.1.0.3927] [Encoder]
* On2 VP7 [version 7.0.10.0] [Encoder/Decoder]
* MP3 Decoder [version 1.9.0.311]
* Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 DirectShow decoder [version 1.9.0.311]
* Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec for MSACM [version 3.4.0]
* VobSub [1.0.1.3] + CPL
* AC3 Filter 1.46b + CPL
* Ogg Vorbis [version 1.1.0.79]
* GSpot 2.70a 

As you can see, the same items are unchanged from 3.4 as they are from 3.5 to the current 3.6 version, so your only changes are with DivX Decoder, XviD, Cyberlink DVD Decoder and AC3 Filter.

Thanks Yzöwl, but the 3.4 version does not contain the codecs I was looking for. 3.3 would probably be the most recent version compatible with what I want.
