aac decoder not working

[dirkpitt3959]

I have files with an extension of .aac (not protected as far as I can remember or tell) and I'm trying to convert them to .mp3. When I try to convert them I get an error saying there is no .aac decoder. The website says that the m4a QAAC should be able to decode all forms of AAC, but since that isn't working I went to the configuration tool for the install-on-demand .aac. It takes me to a page where I download "dBpoweramp-Codec-m4a QAAC (iTunes) Encoder.exe" which I have run. I do have itunes installed (on a windows machine). The cd ripping tool shows m4a NERO AAC grayed out. When I click on it, it prompts me to download a package then takes me to the same page that I have already downloaded from. It seems like either the installer I am being prompted to download isn't installing correctly. dB is installed in C in the default directory.

Which version of dBpa do you have?

The error message says that there is no acc decoder, but you have installed an acc encoder.

Since R202x we have included the aac decoder as standard.
