SoundPackager Crashes At Installation & Startup But Found A Fix [Win7, x64]

Good find! I've been trying figure out what was wrong with mine for months. Thanks!

Glad to know it helped someone!

An excellent solution!  Now mine works (Win 7 64 bit), so perhaps someone at stardock will incorporate the relevant file in an update.

Yeah, an update is what we need. Maybe Stardock's not giving SP as much attention as other products cause it's not as popular.

Thanks for the info.  This should be fixed in an update soon.

You Are Awesome I Was About To Go Ballistic $49 Bucks & It Doesn't Work?? Thanx Alot Sir U Saved The Day!!

Thanks for your kind words

DUDE YOU ROCK I HOPE YOUR PROGRAMMING @$$ NEVER STRAYS TO FAR FROM US

2 support tickets......over a  year of not being able to use soundpackager or only having it work for about a week after a reformat.......then i find this thread.......THANKYOU!!!!!!! 

Worked like a charm.....why the heck isnt the stardock support team offering this information to people with the same problem? they never mentioned anything like this to me, just a bunch of basic uninstall reinstall reboot run arounds that never worked.  thankyou chillychan!

Man you are the master work 100&%%%!!!!!!!!!

Yes, this seems to only affect certain machines.  My own machine running 7 x64 is not affected by this.

unfortunatly mine stopped working again after the last impulse update. i repeating this trick and noticed the wbox32.ocx is now at version 5.0.7.6 and i think it automaticly updated the one in my sound packer folder to the new one during the impulse update....this new version of the .ocx file seems crashes soundpacker again when applying a sound package.

Absolutely fantastic. The only app I could not get to work on my new W7 build. Thanks ChillChan!

Thank you so much for posting this fix. I looked in a lot of places that suggested that I change my DEP settings, but my 64 bit Windows 7 machine wouldn't let me make the recommended changes. Replacing the file worked like a charm.

Try deleting the "wbocx32.ocx" from the Sound Packager folder. SP runs fine with or without the ocx file

(at least on my PC). The only difference is without the ocx file, the buttons inside SP are no longer

skinned by SP but by Windows (or WindowBlinds if you're using WB). If the problem still persists, can you

please post the error message you get in detail? If SP loads but only crashes when applying packages,

it may not be a problem with the ocx.

tried it but still no go.....SP only crashes when trying to apply a sound package however i can apply sound packs just fine from the windows control panel but ofcourse there's no option there for the advanced sound package option so it's definitely not a corrupt package or anything like that. here's the error:

So i tried uninstalling soundpackager, ran ccleaner, rebooted, reinstalled and now sound packager wont even open again, just crashes on start up once again. here's the error codes from it now when it wants to crash immediately when i try to open it:

I only get these issues on 64 bit windows 7.



UPDATE


its got to be windows blind that's somehow causing these issues. I set windows blinds to aero default and low and behold sound packager works again. I wonder if it could somehow be from a corrupt windows blind package that i might have installed.

Well, I'm glad you solved it by yourself cause I honestly don't know what to make of the error

Excellent my friend, now it works again!!!!!!!!

wow, that did it, deleting the wbocx32.ocx file!  i've been trying to get soundpackager to run with no luck since Vista x64.  It ran for a while on Win 7 x64 but quit.  Thanks!!!!!!!!!

it fixed my problem with Win764...Thanks for the tip.....

You're welcome!

Could someone please tell me how to get the sound packager window to maximize?  I can get the sound packager window to open now that I followed this fix, but the window only shows about 3/4 of the contents with no scrollbar and no max button.  HELP!

Have you changed your dpi settings? That has caused this problem with other apps.

THANKS. Wokrs for me now too!
