FLAC and Win 7 84 won't encode

Hello, my first post

I've upgraded from Win  XP 32 to Win 7 64.

FLAC 1.2.1b installed normally, and decoding works OK.
But encoding gives a glimpse of a DOS windows and that's all.

I tried the suggestions I've found in the site re MSCOMCTL.OCX to no avail. Upgrading to FLAC 1.1.4b didn't help also.

Running go.bat in a DOS window presents these error messages:
*
C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC>go
'flac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

'Tag.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
*

What is very strange, as the same file (flac.exe) is used for both encoding and decoding...

Thanks for your help.

You will have to edit your go.bat, since on a 64-Bit OS the default path for 32-bit programs is c:\program files (x86)\, not just "program files"
Most likely, your batch files uses a wrong path to point to the .exe, hence the error message.

Thanks, ChronoSphere

The .bat files are generated by FLAC's GUI front end (installed automatically). For decoding, the .bat points to program files (x86) as should.

I've found another interesting frontend - Trader's Little Helper and it works fine, so I will be deleting FLAC's front end.

Windows 7 Ultimate.

FLAC frontend would not encode or decode properly as it relies on import fuctions from msvbvm60.dll

I put a copy of msvbvm60.dll (6.00.9815) in the "Program files (x86)\FLAC" directory.

It works OK!!

There may be other versions of msvbvm60.dll, I found this one in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64"

If you don't have it get it from Microsoft download.
