m4a to WAV -- aacdec.exc error message

[jayv999]

Hi,

I'm new here. I downloaded SWITCH last week and successfully converted some m4a files to Wav. Now when I try to do the same I get an aacdec.exe error message:

 

aacdec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

 

When I click for more information I get the following:

 

AppName: aacdec.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll

ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 00032a16

 

I downloaded a new aacdec.exe file, but no change.

I uninstalled, then reinstalled Switch. no change.

I rebooted. no change.

 

Any suggestions???

Thanks for your help!

what happens when you go to Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Components\aacdec\ and open the aacdec.exe file in the command prompt ? does it look okay ?

 

its also possible some program you installed replaced your msvcrt.dll run time library with an old version, do a start -> run -> type "sfc" and run a system file check to be sure.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm thinking that the msvcrt.dll is probably the problem. I'll give it a try and get back.
