Still claiming Trial version after installing Reference for batch conversion

[MKammerer]

Hallo,

we are using dBpoweramps scripting Interface for Batch conversion with the file dMCScripting_32bit.dll.
The Software is old, so it does not know 64Bit.
On a test Server the 15.1 Trial Version was installed, but it expired.
So we bought the Reference Version today.
I installed the registered Version over the Trial Version, maybe this was a fault of mine.

Now when our Software should convert a file, a window pops up saying:
dBpoweramp Reference: Trial Expired
Component Requires dBpoweramp Reference

In the configuration Dialog the Version info says:
dBpoweramp 64-bit: Registered Reference
Release 15.1

I already uninstalled all dBpoweramp components, rebooted and reinstalled everything. Did not help.

Is is possible to fix this without reinstalling the whole machine?
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Michael

Sounds like you have 2 installs, run this:

then restart Windows and reinstall the registered version.

Thank you for your help.
I did this. Now the error message says:
Component requires dBpoweramp Reference

I will ask our Software developer. Maybe this happens because of the usage of dMCScripting_32bit.dll which was copied into the Installation Directory manually?

Best regards,
Michael

Yes, each component of dBpoweramp is internally compiled as registered, also if you have the 64 bit version, you cannot replace with dMCScripting_32bit.dll and have 100% of it working.

What I do not understand, is the delivered dMCScripting.dll a 64 Bit file even if I install the 32 Bit version of dBpoweramp with this right shift - double click trick?
Our developer thinks so.

Sorry, I know my questions are annoying, but we need to get this thing running.

Our developer fixed it, so at the moment everything is fine.
He thinks dMCScripting.dll is 64 Bit and extracted a 32 bit Version somehow.

Thank you for your help.

Can you (or Spoon) explain or elaborate on the solution. For me, this is important information.

Re: Still claiming Trial version after installing Reference for batch conversion

Sorry, I did not have my post in mind anymore.
Our developer installed dBpoweramp on a 32 Bit machine and took the file from there.
On a 64 Bit machine the setup routine seems to install the 64 Bit file even if the 32 Bit install was started with this right shift-double click trick.
We think this behaviour is a bug.

For the shell stuff to work, if 64 bit Windows is used, then 64 bit versions of the shell DLLs need to be installed otherwise the 64 bit Windows File Explorer would not load them, if you have a 3rd party 32 bit file explorer then is non-standard.
