The uninstallation of the ZMBV codec doesn't work, the problem is the following code in the file ZMBV.INF under the section [ZMBV.Reg]:

1HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ZMBV,UninstallString,,"rundll.exe setupx.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultUninstall 132 %17%\ZMBV.INF"

That line should be:

1HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ZMBV,UninstallString,,"rundll32.exe syssetup.dll,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultUninstall 132 %17%\ZMBV.INF"

Try to uninstall the codec via Add/Remove Programs and see if it works for you.

But that's impossibe, the setupx.dll (and rundll.exe) doesn't even exist in Windows XP. Unless you have a fixed version of ZMBV.INF, the only thing I can say is that you try to reinstall v0.65 and try again.

Hm don't know, works.
Anyways, the installer uses rundll32 as well so your version sounds better.
Guess the rundll ones were from win95, but it's mixed up.

Thanks for noting!
