I get an error each time I try to install the latest directshow filter.

"error opening this file for writing:
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\ogg.dll"
Hit abort to abort installation,
retry to retry writing the file, or
ignore to skip this file

Abort Retry Ignore

This happens for each file in the install package.

Any advice?

Thank you. :)

reboot, then don't open a video or launch a player, jump on the OggDS.exe and install :)

That's all

Don't you think that's occurred to me? :D It still refuses to install.

Okay, I guess the only way to make it work is to first UNINSTALL (in the control panel applet Add/Remove programs) the Ogg Vorbis Directshow Filter, reboot, then install the new one. Tobias might want to include something in each installer that makes this automatic, but until then, we have our solution. :D This will stump a great many non-computer experts, however.
