Completely lost!

[JHub87]

I'm completely lost on how to get the apple version of aac encoder to work in foobar. I've installed both itunes and the encoder pack. I've also downloaded the qaac_2.71.zip file, but I don't know what to do with the files inside it. The instructions say, "Depending on your OS, copy the binaries (exe and DLL) where you like". Exactly where should I put them? Do I need to run the 2 exe files or what? Are there files I need to copy from the itunes folder to the foobar folder? What are they and exactly where should I put them?

Thanks in advance for your help!

itunes is optional to install. since foobar2000 is 32-bit, respectively, and the encoder is 32-bit.
i have foobar2000 installed in c:\tools\foobar2000 all codecs in the encoders folder.
unpack archive QAAC271-32.zip

1. dont need to install itunes, you can just download apple aac encoder from here - https://github.com/AnimMouse/QTFiles (both 64 or 32 bit will work with foobar2000 )
2. download qaac, if you gonna use 64 bit apple aac encoder, then you need qaac64, for 32 bit is qaac
3. put map QTfiles64 or QTfiles in foobar2000 encoders map, and qaac 4 files in encoders map
4. done

It doesn't work.

I have all the dlls, including the mvsc ones in the same folder as the exe:

Any ideas how to debug this?

A bit of googling suggested that E193 was due to a mix of 32-bit and 64-binaries. I had indeed downloaded QTFiles.7z, but I needed QTFiles64.7z 😢 Anyhow, it works with right files:

By the way, Apple no longer packages the AppleApplicationSupport[64].msi starting with iTunes 12.11 onwards. I think they just throw the files in the big iTune msi now. Also, their separate "Apple Music" Windows Store app seems to have them too (not sure if all though). Latest version for CoreAudio is still 7.10.9.0 with that one though, but the dll size differs. It might have just been recompiled, I'm not sure.
