Rory,

Right-click on the "lagarith.inf" file and select "Install"

John,

Have you tried to install the 32 bit version on Vista x64? It took me forever to figure out how to install the previous version, since there were a whole bunch of manual instructions on how to install it. Just clicking on the INF file didn't work.

Have you tried the Lagarith Installer which is available on the Lagarith web page?

I got this:

This program is Copyright 2006 Ben Greenwood, and is distributed
under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Normal installation:
Right-click on lagarith.inf and select install to install the codec. If you
do not see an install option, make sure you extracted the files, and are using
the extracted lagarith.inf file.

Installing the 32bit version on Windows 64
Extract all the files to a folder
Open up a command prompt (start->run: cmd)
Change directories to sysWOW64 ("cd C:\windows\syswow64")
Type the following (replace example_path with the actual path to the extracted files), then hit enter: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\example_path\lagarith.inf
This method can also be used for installing other 32bit codecs such as Huffyuv that install via a .inf file.

To install under Vista 64, you will need to run cmd.exe as administrator

Format constraints:
All formats require a MMX capable processor.
YUY2 should have a width divisible by 8 and YV12 should be divisible by 16; other
resolutions are accepted and may or may not work (or even crash) depending on encoding
and decoding formats.
YV12 requires an even height.
Reduced resolution cannot be used with a UYVY video source
UYVY encoding is not supported with X64 yet.

And this bat file (save it as an install.bat file)
copy lagarith.inf %windir%\system32copy Lagarith64\lagarith.dll %windir%\system32copy lagarith.inf %windir%\SysWOW64copy Lagarith32\lagarith.dll %windir%\SysWOW64
cd /d %windir%\system32rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 %windir%\system32\lagarith.inf

cd /d %windir%\SysWOW64rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 %windir%\SYSWOW64\lagarith.inf

ingvarai,

As a courtesy you should probably remove the guy's email from your post here, in case spammer programs are trolling this forum looking for email addresses... (or convert the email address to a spelled-out version)

Agreed! Done

John, I'll try it, but it didn't work for the last version of the codec.

ingvarai's approach is what I ended up doing last time, but since the installer failed, I had to go through and remove all the registry items and then then use the manual method. It's almost not worth it.

The 64 bit version installs fine on Vista x64.

Whatever you do, a new codec, a new application, here is what I use in order to flush out any trace of what I have installed, any trace of any attempt tp tweak or experiment with something on my PC:

Total Uninstall is the name (similar to Ashampoo Magic Uninstaller, I like this better)

That's a pretty handy utility. I think that I buy a license for it.
