    I have a Sony VAIO, Model VGN-SZ330P still running Sony OEM Windows XP.

    I am trying to reinstall the Sony MP4 Shared Library. The copy on my VAIO "disappeared" last week when
    I was following some instructions given to me by online support that were supposed to fix another problem
    not create the MP4 problem.

    In my C:\WINDOWS\SONYSYS\logs folder I came across the build.log file from the original instal.
    In that file is the following :

    [18] Sony MP4 Shared Library
    Start Time: 7/22/2006 1:20:22 PM
    SITID: 0529003.SNC
    Command: d:\0529003.snc\setup.exe -s -SMS
    Method: installer
    Version Path: %CommonProgramFiles%\sony shared\mp4lib\version.txt
    Version: 2.0.00.07071
    OK Version verified.

    I can not find 0529003.SNC. I have searched through the Applications and Drivers on both my
    Recovery DVDs and the Hard Drive Recovery Files.

    I copied SONY1P_0620209.PAC from the Recovery DVDs to my hard drive and extracted all files
    using the old KCAP.exe software.

    There was no 0529003.SNC extracted, but there was 0529203.SNC which just happens to be the
    Sony Notebook Utilities installation. I thought that perhaps the Sony Notebook Utilities may
    expand during its installation and also instal the MP4 library, so I did a reinstall but there was no
    MP4 Library at completion.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for me or even better the MP4 instal files?
    I know things will work fine as they are now but if the MP4 Shared Library is not installed, the Sony Video
    Shared Library will not allow itself to be upgraded to the next release level.

    Thanks in advance

    John

    If any other VAIO user sees their XP Sony MP4 Shared Library disappear, I finally found an install courtesy of a posting detailing the users experience in undoing their Vista install and returning their VAIO to XP.

    You can find the XP downgrade utilities including the Sony MP4 Shared Library at ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/OS/XPDOWNGRADE/SZ4-SZ5/UTILITIES/
