WAVEPAD keeps looking for MP3EL

jerry4dos

Hi all:

OK -- I'm trying out WAVEPAD on a Win2K machine NOT connected to the Internet. I moved the installer file WPSETUP.EXE on a ZIP disk, and it installed fine. However, now it is trying to "phone home" and download an additional MP3EL, and prompts me to "install it manually."

I have moved the MP3ENC.EXE in its folder MP3EL in its folder COMPONENTS, and put the COMPONENTS folder in the NCH SWIFT SOUND folder.

WAVEPAD seems to be unaware of the presence of MP3ENC.EXE and still tries to "phone home" and will not save files in MP3 format.

What else do I need to do "manually"?

Hello,

You cannot just simply copy the mp3el.exe to the component folder. Please download its full setup file from the below link:

Save it to your disk and then you simply double click to install it. You should get a message like "The component mp3el has been installed successfully"

That worked perfectly. I could just KISS you. Please lean in close to your monitor, and . . .

I had the same problem. Fortunately I browsed this forum and got the perfect solution. Thank you so much, nchngoc!
