WMA codec won't load?
Converter has suddenly stopped recognizing WMA files. No longer visible within converter, and forcing a conversion through the windows file manager menu selection gives me the following message:
Error converting to Windows Media Audio 10, 'C:\Downloaded Files\Endless River\01 Things Left Unsaid.wma' to 'C:\Music Converter\Downloaded Files\Endless River\01 Things Left Unsaid'
Error: Unable to load decoder for file type '.wma', codec not installed? visit 'Codec Central'. [dBCoreConverter::dBCoreConverter]
I have installed/reinstalled both the WMA codec and the program itself (R15.1). Local vs. network drive makes no difference either. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

If you look in:
C:\Program Files\dBpoweramp\decoder
you can see:
Windows Media Audio Application Extension

Yes, that .dll is there. When I update the codecs, it also tells me I have the latest version installed (8). But if I pull up batch converter and look in the filter list, WMA is not listed.

Re: WMA codec won't load?
Did you change the install path when installing the codec?
-
Re: WMA codec won't load?
No. But for reference, the install path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\decoder"

Your windows is the 32bit?

Re: WMA codec won't load?
Running Windows 7 64-bit. CPU - i7-3770k, 16 GB RAM, Samsung SSD 830 series. All music files are stored on a NAS, which has never been an issue. I typically burn music tracks in WMA lossless, then convert to MP3 for the potable versions.

Re: WMA codec won't load?
It suggests you have a mix match of 64 bit and 32 bit dBpoweramp installed, they cannot work together.
Uninstal all dBpoweramp programs and codecs, then run:

Then reinstall.

Uninstalled and reinstalled everything. I had to force installation to the Program Files folder over the Program Files (x86), but everything works now. Still not sure what the underlying issue was, as I thought I had all 64 bit software installed. Regardless, thanks for the help.

Re: WMA codec won't load?
I can't seem to get the WMA codec installed properly. I managed to get dbpoweramp installed in C:\Program Files\dBpoweramp then overrode the wma installer trying to install in C:\Program Files\dBpoweramp\dbpoweramp, finally ending up with the encoder and decoders in their proper folders, but if I look at configuration it doesn't show WMA and it won't do the conversion. I cleared all old installs first, it still won't work.

Which version of dbpoweramp do you have?
