Most people have these system files already, but if you don't, they will be automatically downloaded for you (so long as you're not behind an authenticating proxy server - If you are, please email -email-)
* Due to popular demand, FLAC Installer will now install its files to your 'Program Files' directory, rather than your Windows system directory. As a result:

* Updated the FLAC plugin for Nero to v1.0.0.33
* Cleaned up Add/Remove Programs text
* Pimped the FLAC icon (.ico) file

* Updated Tag to version 2.0.39b

06.24.2003 - v1.1.0h

* Welcome to FLAC, Phishies!

06.20.2003 - v1.1.0g
* Uggg... I added the runtime files MSVBVM60.DLL and MSCOMCTL.OCX back into the installer. Apparently many versions of windows complain if these files aren't included. The status quo has returned.

06.06.2003 - v1.1.0e
* Added the Nero AudioPlugin for FLAC v1.0.0.26 (nxMyFLA.dll) Huge props to -email- for this plugin! NOTE: This will allow you to burn FLAC files directly to audio CD without converting to WAV! The Nero plugin for FLAC will also let you extract/rip audio CD's directly to FLAC, but I suggest using EAC for that, of course
