Vista Codec Package 7.2

That's weird. I did a virus scan just to check with Trend, Spy Sweeper and Windows Defender, and no trojan viruses were detected.

I had no problem installing it at all.

I was also getting the 7zip error even after installing 7zip.
How i resolved it was to right-click and extract the files using winrar,then from the resulting folder run the Vista codec package.msi

I was getting the 7zip error so I installed 7 zip and ran the installer a second time - worked fine :) Thanks for a great package.

Thank you for providing this small but important piece of the Microsoft Mishap. Download was easy, installation was smooth, and it works excellently!

Thanks again!

it DO work with XP... OMG! At least, see the developer site!

Buggy piece of nuts. MSI installers suck.

Do you mean "does it work for XP"? No, it doesn't. If you want something for XP, go back to the other page and scroll down to the bottom. You'll find a download for an "XP codec pack" there.

Thanks for the latest version. It's totally improved the quality of my avi and flv files. I'll be giving a donation later this week.

Is this work for XP?

Dude you need to do right click on the package - Run As Administrator...and it works.....


@WHAT THE F**K 37.

Vista is starting to piss me off, ACCESS DENIED!! when I try to click on the fckn install icon.. god f**kn d**n it

Amazing stuff. Using it with NO PROBLEMS on Vista Ultimate. WMP 11 now plays Flash Video, Real Video and Quick Time! Finally, WMP 11 is an universal player...!

HELP ME !! :( tried to run it as administrator and i still get the 7 zip error O_O

thanks in advance !!

4.4.9 beta1 deserves a 5 rating. I started with 4.4.6 and each upgrade only got better. Before I ever downloaded Vista codec pack, I was already having problems with Windows Media Player 11. I called the Vista techs because I could no longer play DVDs. They couldn't help and couldn't figure out what happened. I was getting a message about the resolution. I figured out on my own what happened. I had taken a windows update, and it somehow deleted of my DVD decoder. I found a d**n good DVD decoder by Roxio, and it solved the problem where I could play DVDs again in WMP.

I also had the VLC player, but it wasn't playing DVDS. That's when I decided to download the Vista codec pack, and it worked. I have four players in all: WMP, Real Player, VLC player and FLV player. I can play any type of file now on any of the players (except FLV of course). I can play AVIs, and I don't need the Quick Time player or DivX either. I noticed someone was having trouble uninstalling 4.4.9. Simply click on start, click on the icon above your username, and uncheck the administrator box. That should help, and allow you to uninstall it. Thanks for taking the time to make this codec package. It's really nice not to have to download anymore players like Quick Time or DivX.

This is okay on Win Home B@sic :-P

thanks and i wait a newer version of this one.

@revo - Microsoft Forefront also reports the same FALSE results. Thats why most people don't rely on these ineffective tools.

Those 2 files contain simple DOS commands that I wrote to allow the manipulatution of registry data as required to view ripped HD-DVD content in *.EVO format.

i just installed vista ultimate 32 and was having the 7-zip message display. i then installed nero 7 and set up windows media player and then tried installing vcp 4.4.5 and voila it works perfectly.
