Windows 7 - Strange FLAC behavior

Strange FLAC behavior

I've installed FLAC on Win 7 smoothly.

But it will decode files, and not encode files. Tried many tricks - register MSCOMCTL.OCX, reinstall, newer version, to no avail.

During encoding there is a glimpse of a command window, and that's all.
In Win XP it was OK.

The FLAC codec is a command line program, and there is a GUI that generates a .bat file for it.

Here are samples of the .bat files:

Decode (works fine):

@echo off
C:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC"
win2dos go.bat
flac -d "D:\MP3\Folders\Windham Hill\Windham Hill Records Guitar Sampler\11 Cheyenne.flac"
echo.
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Encode (no go)

@echo off
win2dos "C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC\go.bat"
D:
cd "D:\MP3\Folders\Zeca Baleiro - As Melhores\"
flac -V --replay-gain -6 "01-Telegrama.wav"
echo.
Tag.exe --auto --comment "Encoded by FLAC v1.1.4a with FLAC Frontend v1.7.1" "D:\MP3\Folders\Zeca Baleiro - As Melhores\01-Telegrama.flac"

If one tries to run encode Go.bat from a command window, here's the error message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC>go
'flac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

'Tag.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure what you're trying to do, but for Flac conversion I use Traders Little Helper
Trader's Little Helper If that doesn't help I'm sure someone else will come along

Thanks, kenC

Trader's Little Help did it.
Let's see if someone can explain what's going on with the FLAC front end.
