Hi all,

 

5 years of systems management for a K-12, and I just found this forum! I'm excited to start exploring more.

 

I came looking for Audacity tips, and I'd like to check out the MSI, but both instances of the file are coming down as corrupted for me as well... Is there any alternate download location?

 

Thanks.

Anyone had any luck with getting lame installed (from a script) for this version?

The scripts above don't seem to work. I've noticed that there is a version number in the registry entries...

 

I removed the entries from the registry, restarted the PC but lame still worked so I wasn't convinced that these entries are the ones needed in 1.3.9.

 

I'm planning on using sysinternals process explorer to check to see what changes are made whilst lame is installed through the application but just had to reinstall my test box and was hoping to save reinventing the wheel

I'll throw my hat in as well....anyone got an MSI for the latest version of Audacity? Have been asked to update our current installations, as out IT teacher is going to teach himself how to use Audacity over the Christmas break, so would like the same version so the students can access the same version that he is trying to teach them!

No, but unless it's changed all Audacity needs is the correct files in program files, a shortcut and one little registry entry to associate the project files.

 

Shouldn't take you very long with Free Windows Installer - MSI Installer Tool

 

Unless it's changed the location of Lame encoder is stored in user's profile as is the language, so you might want to amend your mandatory profile or whatever you use to reflect this.

Sorry to necro, does anybody have a working way of either pushing out Audacity and LAME over GPO or running LAME on the portable version?

I know Audacity has (or had) a silent install flag so I could script that, but it's LAME that's the bigger issue.

Currently we run Audacity over the network off an application server, but I can't seem to find a way to make LAME work, which the Performing Arts dept think they'll need because the exam boards can be fussy about file formats.

 

I've put lame_enc.dll into Audacity\App\LAME as suggested earlier, nada

I've put lame_enc.dll into Audacity\Plug-Ins, nope, tried Plug-Ins\LAME, still no joy.

I've copied C:\Program Files (x86)\LAME for Audacity to the local machine, no dice

I've installed LAME 'properly' on the application server, still nothin'.

I've tried changing the library settings (Edit, Preferences, Libraries) to point to the DLL via its \\UNC\Path but that doesn't appear to effect the clients that run it over the network.

This is the batch file we use when sending Audacity and Lames to our stations from SCCM:

 

@echo off
pushd %~sdp0

audacity-win-2.3.0.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPERSSMESSAGEBOXES /NORESTART

start /wait Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe /Silent

 

Could you, perhaps, use the Lame part of that batch file?

 

start /wait Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe /Silent

 

HTH.

Audacity checks for the plugin paths in the registry so you will need to add the following before it will 'see' them (if you aren't using the plugin installers that @DaveP mentioned above).

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FFmpeg for Audacity]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Audacity\\Libraries\\FFmpeg"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Lame For Audacity]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Audacity\\Libraries\\LAME"

 

Note. Change paths as necessary. :)

Brilliant guys, thanks a lot :) That should see me straight, one way or the other.

 

I saw the mention of the reg keys previously but since they were so long ago wasn't sure if things had changed since.
