Error when creating CUE sheet on Server 2008 R2 (with fix)

[noonand]

I was experiencing the error mentioned in this post and came up with a fix after what was mentioned there proved unhelpful.

 

The post is over two years old so I didn't want to exhume it.

 

The error is "CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SampleGrabber) Failed! - Reason: Class not registered" and I would get it for each compressed audio file that I was attempting to add.

• Search for qedit.dll. You will likely find it in a symlinked folder.
• Copy this file to your \Windows\System32 folder
• From an elevated command prompt run "regsvr32 qedit.dll" (sans quotes and adding the fully qualified path if you're not already in it)
• Now attempt to add an MP3 file; it should work
• I had one further issue when trying to use a FLAC file and that was that ImgBurn complained about not having OptimFROG.dll. That DLL was in the path but knowing how Windows looks for dependencies I just copied it in the ImgBurn folder. There's no need to register this one as it's not a registerable (sp?) DLL

Hope this helps someone else!
