Windows Media Encoder 9 Hotfix for Vista

Posted By: Ben Waggoner | Jan 8th, 2007 @ 6:40 PM

Hello,

We've just released a hotfix for Windows Media Encoder running under Vista. There's no need to install it under XP or other version of Windows. It addresses the following symptoms:

Issue 1

When you run the Windows Media Encoder command-line script WMCmd.vbs, the script host Cscript.exe may crash.

Issue 2

The icons that appear on the encoder toolbar and in the encoder dialog boxes are displayed by using a low bit depth. Therefore, the icons appear to have a low resolution.

Issue 3

When you configure the encoding profile or start an encoding session, the encoder may crash.

Just worked out that UAC means you need to Run As Admin to get this installed, otherwise you get an error:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
