@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.

Microsoft Oncecare reports that this package contains two trojan viruses in tools: MPEG.EXE and HDDVD.exe.
With care.

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.

Works in most cases (Vista x64), had some issues that users have posted above. I ended up K-Lite (which I usually hate due to it's bundling of Yahoo) and extra/unnecessary software.
I would say, if the author can improve x64 (which he needs assistance according to his site), and improve ffdshow controls, it'll be a major improvement that I'll return to use.

"Very bad. Total waste of my time. My advice: get K-Lite, that works brilliantly on all my PCs."
If K-Lite is working so well for you why were you even reading about another codecpack? Not so brilliant afterall.
My advice, ignore the K-Lite trolls and check out this fantastic package. It just works.

You may want to try downloading it from another source. Your installation file may be corrupt. There is also a program to help you deal with UAC issues in Vista, http://www.tweak-uac .com

Respondent #16, I do exactly as you suggest,
"Run as Administrator".
I get the 7-zip message. No go.
What's the answer then?

Jeff:
Extract the main download if it is archived. Then what you are going to do is, if you have WinRar, right click and hit extract (i dont get why it was double archived either). I was having the same problem until i messed around with it also. Try this and tell me what you think.

For those using Vista and unable to install VCP you need to rightclick on the downloaded file and choose 'Run as administrator...' Even though Vista may tell you that you are an administrator, you still dont have full admin rights under Vista.
For Camtasia you need to go into the Video decoder configuration icon, scroll the righthand window to TechSmith and change the setting from libavcodec to disabled. It is set as it is so that people without Camtasia installed can still view the videos created by Camtasia.

It breaks Camtasia.
With this installed, It can not produce video at all.
Uninstall it and it works again...

I can't get 4.4.4 to install either... I got the same 7 zip can not create install folder message. It was a clean install of windows vista 32 bit. Yes.. a legit version of windows.

I'm new to Vista and not impressed. Damn thing keeps asking me if I'm sure. WTF. Can't install the codecs 'cos the rotten thing tells me 7-ZIP 'cannot create install folder'
Bugger, can't play 90% of my illicit movies. There's no justice! The kids are screaming for Bambi, I might have to out and buy it.
If I figure out what the f. is going on I'll do another post.
