    Getting error install wma codec

    Hi,

    I downloaded dBpoweramp-Codec-WMA10Pro to install the wma codecs to my Win10 PC. It appears to install the .dll's into the 64 bit Program Files folder, while all other codecs are in the 32 bit Program Files (x86) folder. I get the following error after install:

    Click image for larger version

Name:	wm codec install error.png
Views:	1
Size:	16.2 KB
ID:	297134

    Also, when I then try to convert a non-DRM wma files, I get this error:

    Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'E:\Music\Music\Dr. John\Goin' Back to New Orleans\01 - Dr. John - Litenie des Saints.wma' to 'E:\Music\Music\Dr. John\Goin' Back to New Orleans\01 - Dr. John - Litenie des Saints.mp3'
    Error: Unable to load decoder for file type '.wma', codec not installed? visit 'Codec Central'. [dBCoreConverter::dBCoreConverter]


    I tried moving the 64 bit dll's to the 32 bit folder, but no help. Any ideas?

    I have R14.2 Reference.

    Thanks.

    You have to delete the wma dlls, then force the 32 bit install by holding the right shift key whilst run installer.

      That worked, thanks very much. If I upgrade to current version 16, is it full 64 bit now?

      Also, I see here https://www.dbpoweramp.com/Version-Changes-DMC.htm that it means acquiring for scanner, is that for album art?

        It is 64 bit and can scan album art from a scanner.
