#1 Burning Software

Hello, Anton.
Can you tell, what are external requirements of StarBurn for mp3 decompressing ?
Thanks.

We don't need any additional stuff except build-it media fomats SDK binaries (shipped with 98SE/Me, 2000 SP2+, XP and Windows 2003 server). In some cases (when really old OS) you'll have to install redistributable Media Fromats SDK binaries set. Quite small

Than I cannot understand. Here are two debug outputs of IsAudioFileSupported() call for the same mp3 file.

First ( Win2K SP4 ) is successful.
Second ( WinXP Prof ) fails...

... And, by the way, I wish whole RocketDivision team and Anton personally Happy New Year! Good Luck and Lots of Fun!

OK, this all means you don't have proper Media Format SDK support binaries. They are installed with Service Packs or with Media Player. You can go both ways - either install redistributable binaries (quite small) or upgrade to Media Player 9 or 10. In any case - please let me know what software configuration you have on failing XP system.

P.S. We just assume our customers use latest released SPs - SP6 for NT 4.0, SP2 for XP and SP1 for 2003 Server.

P.P.S. And I also with you best of luck in New Year
