FLAC Frontend doesn't work

I have recently moved from XP 32bit to XP 64bit cuz 4GB RAM isn't supported in 32bit XP.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm on XP x64 or if it's something else.

FLAC Frontend won't decompress to wav or convert wav to FLAC.
the command window appears but only very fast, less than 1 sec.
Does anyone know how to get it working again?

Don't matter, this happens for all wav and flac files...

In Foobar it works but not with FLAC Frontend

Well it always worked before on these paths
E:\E LL temp
D:\D LL temp

I doesn't even work if I choose "same as input directory"

I asked because FLAC frontend, which is very much unlike foobar2000, generates a batch file and then executes it.  If there is unicode in the path or filename the script will choke.

It doesn't delete the batch after trying to execute it.  Check it out, maybe there's something obvious in there.

I've tried deleting go.bat, same thing

Even tried the RAREWARES version...

Of course.  Instead of deleting it, open it up with a text editor.

...sorry if I was misleading earlier.  FLAC frontend doesn't delete the batch after it's done with it whether the result was successful or not.  It simply overwrites go.bat the next time you use the program.

ye and creates a new one if you delete the first


in the bat file go.bat

@echo off
C:
cd "C:\ProgCore(x86)\FLAC"
win2dos go.bat
flac -6 "E:\E LL temp\1 1CDImage.wav"
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you try running flac frontend as Administrator?

I'm having the same problem with FLAC Front End 1.7.1 in Vista.  I run as administrator, and the command line flashes very briefly.  I am able to decipher that it is saying:

'win2dos' is not recognized as a valid internal or external command.

Suggestions?

chelrob, I only run as admin.

I have switched to Window 2003 Server.
Removed the crap I didn't needed with nLite

On Windows 2003 it works.

I also have been getting this error, so I played with some settings and found that by removing the tick on this option under ReplayGain (Treat input files as one album), all is working perfectly!!!

Thanks Geo & Kyle.

Exactly the same issue on Win7 32-bit (win2dos not recognised.)

Exactly the same solution. (Just wish I understood why)

Cheers,

You need to add the FLAC installation directory to your program search path.  From Windows Explorer: 

right click on Computer, then select Properties
on the left column, click on Advanced system settings
within the Advanced tab, click on the Environment Variables button
In the System variables section, scroll down and find Path and click on Edit
Append the following at the end of the Variable value input box

;C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC\

You will need to restart the FLAC front-end application.

Good luck
