Hi All
Lookin for some advice. Installed v450 a while back which is awesome and has enabled playback of most files on WMP11. However, I just downloaded some .ogm files which I can't play. On searching for the required codec I was directed to the latest vista codecs package here on Free-Codecs. So, I need to know, does the latest version v456 contain the necessary cdes. If so, do I need to uninstall v450 before i install and how. Or am I better off just installing the ogg directshow filters seperately. Hope someone can help. thanks

WELL DONE..GR8 program!..YOU saved me..no sound with VISTA BUT NOW I CAN SEE AND HEAR ALL MY OLD MPEG ETC!!!.also had issue with winzip just saved into another folder and ran exe from within winzip which seemed to sorted extration issue. VISTA $uck$ ..This Codec final ROCKS!! THANKS guys!!!

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!
