The Vfapi Codec is an old Frameserver that is used in video encoding. It hasn't been updated for years but under older OS's has served its purposes flawlessly. Now with Win7 I can open and run the program with compatibility mode and make Vfapi files. However, I cannot install the CODEC that allows for the _vfapi.avi files to be opened in video editing programs.
The install has always been run the .bat file and enjoy. I tried that under admin and even tried copying the DLL and INF to the system32 folder manually to no avail.
Please help me install the codec. With force in necessary.
While not exactly the ideal solution to your problem, XP Mode in this instance may be justified. This can probably be used until a definate solution is found for this problem. Also whether or not you are using Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit may play an important factor in the codec compatibility.
Thank you for the helpful reply. I have seen the pages you linked before and want to post on the doom9 forums but they have required a 5 day wait after registering to post.
