Playing WAV files

Author	Message
Frank Men #1 / 9	Playing WAV files Can someone tell me how to play WAV files? I saw a sample script that is supposed to do this, but it seems to require a file called mci32.ocx. Where can I get this and how do I install it?

Walter Zacker #2 / 9	Playing WAV files This sample script will play the wave file %windir%\media\ding.wav. Just substitute the path to your own wave file in the script, or substitute a variable that represents a wave file. It doesn't require any files other than files that are standard Windows installations. set wave = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") wave.run ("sndrec32 /play /close %windir%\media\ding.wav") : Can someone tell me how to play WAV files?

Frank Men #3 / 9	Playing WAV files Sorry, I should have been clearer. I am running this on NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 RC2. Neither one of these have mci32.ocx installed. Where does this file come from? How can I install it on these OS's? The error I get is "Error: Class in not licensed for use" This is the script I am using: Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set mci = WScript.CreateObject("MCI.MMcontrol") mci.FileName="c:\jungle.wav" mci.AutoEnable=1 mci.Command="Open" mci.Command="Play" wscript.echo "Done" This script that I found uses mci32.ocx. The technique you sent me is interesting, but it pops-up the media player. This is a problem if you are running multiple wav files in a row. THe mci32.ocx seems to be installed in windows 98. I have a copy of it, but do not know how to register it so that NT can use it. Thanks for the response.

mvp Mark L. Ferguso #4 / 9	Playing WAV files I think you can just go to start / run, and type REGSVR32 /i mci32.ocx (with the file saved in %windir%/system32) I like the code, works great on my win98 -- mvp Mark L.

Frank Men #6 / 9	Playing WAV files When I try and run REGSVR32, I get a pop-up error message: mci32.ocx was loaded, but the Dllinstall entry point was not found. Dllinstall may not be exported, or a corrupt version mci32.ocx may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remote it. I have tried 2 different versions of mci32.ocx and the same thing happens. Also, I get the error message on both NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 pro 2118. Where do I get PView? Thanks I think you can just go to start / run, and type REGSVR32 /i mci32.ocx (with the file saved in %windir%/system32) I like the code, works great on my win98 -- mvp Mark L.

mvp Mark L. Ferguso #7 / 9	Playing WAV files I'm sure PView would do nothing for you but give a little more info on the error. The ocx is probably win 9x specific. Using the browser as a player should hit the all platforms. I played around with the code below, but I don't really see why it fails, either. Set amc = WScript.CreateObject("AMOVIE.ActiveMovieControl.2") amc.Filename="c:/windows/media/ding.wav" amc.Autostart="-1" amc.Run() -- mvp Mark L.

Walter Zacker #8 / 9	Playing WAV files This modification to the script runs the wave file without showing Sound Recorder. set wave = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") wave.run "sndrec32 /play /close %windir%\media\ding.wav",0

It's a licensed control. 2. Try regsvr32 mci32.ocx (i.e. without the -i) -- Robert Bradley I am not a mindreader, so I don't know everything.
