View Full Version : installing Nimo Codec Pack

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section of the forum, but here goes anyway:

Upon installation of Nimo Codec Pack 5, I get these error messages:

1: Error opening file for writing:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcr70.dll

2: Error opening file for writing:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\DivXdec.ax

3. Error opening file for writing:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ffdshow.ax

the files in question are not write-protected or anything, so I can't for the **** of it understand why it should be a problem installing the codec pack. I'm running winxp pro with admin priv's.

I'm sorry for posting this topic here, but I couldn't get access to the forums on the official nimo page, as they seemed to be down at the moment.

Because the installation program cannot write to these files, I have a few problems viewing certain avi-files.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks people :)

Best retards,
Silver****

Your username, avatar and signature is inappropriate for this forum.

well, my username I can't do much about. It's just a Smashing Pumpkins songtitle though.

the avatar I agree was a bit extreme, and as far as the signature, it's a line from a Faith no More song.

Sorry for raising hell

You basically have to delete old files. This is covered in FORUM FAQ at Nimo's site:

thank you Johnny!
I guess I should have found that myself really!

Thanks again though :)

No problem. I went through the same thing myself!

well, actually. It didn't work, as windows won't let me either delete or move the files in question, so basically, I'm back to square one again.

Strange. I just went ahead and moved the first two files you mentioned into a subfolder (cut and paste) from windows/system32.

(I moved mine back of course)

Gonna give it another try later..
I downloaded bs player and it plays all my avi files just fine.
