V 3.0.4.0 Hangs on Load - BASS.DLL problem (1 Viewer)

[jivauk]

Downloaded MPTagThat.

Installed .NET 4 and .NET updates from Windows updates.

Installed MPTagThat.

On opening MPTagThat I get the splash screen displaying:
Version: 3.0.4.0
Build Date: 23/11/2011 16:37
Setting up Grids...

Behind the splash screen is a popup error box showing:
BASSCD
X Incorrect BASS.DLL version (2.4 is required)

Have re-booted PC - same thing happens

Have re-installed MPTagThat - same thing happens

How can I get round this?

Many thanks

Jimmy

You have most probably somewhere a BASSCD.dll in your path, which could result from another product install.
Look into e.g. Windows\system or windows\system32

Many thanks for your reply.

I don't appear to have BASSCD.dll anywhere on my C: (System) drive.

In Windows\System32 I have a number of dll files that might be relevant:
bass.dll
bass_acc.dll
bass_alac.dll
bass_ape.dll
bass_flac.dll
bass_mpc.dll
bass_tta.dll
bass_ww.dll
These are all dated 01/02/2007 23:19
The bass.dll shows:
Company: Un4seen Development
File Version: 2.3.0.2

There are other bass related dll files in C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal (I have also downloaded and installed MediaPortal):
bass.dll
Bass.Net.dll
bass_vis.dll
bassasio.dll
bassmix.dll
BassRegistration.dll
BassVisAPI.Net.dll
bass_fx.dll
bass_vst.dll
bass_wadsp.dll
These are all dated 13/11/2011 12:53

The bass.dll shows:
Company: Un4seen Development
File Version: 2.4.7.0

Am I right in thinking that I can
1. Rename the bass.dll in Windows\System32 to something like bass.dlx (just to keep it in case of future need)
2. Copy the bass.dll from Program Files\MediaPortal into Windows\System32
3. Re-boot

Or is it more complicated than that?

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I want to be sure and provide all relevant info.

Regards

Jimmy

Yes, could be a solution, but then maybe the program, which originally installed bass.dll in windows\system32 doesn't work anymore.
Just give it a try.
