Both Scid and Scid vs PC used to work nicely in my 2009 Windows Vista laptop. Three weeks ago I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and now I can't manage to have any of them assess the sound files, getting "snack package not found" or something like that. So no sound makes this almost unusable to play chess with. Any idea? I still didn't try Scid development version 4.5.1 but I don't think I will after so many failures to get sound.
I can't manage to have any of them assess the sound files, getting "snack package not found" or something like that. So no sound makes this almost unusable to play chess with. Any idea?
It is a problem related with lack of librarys of sound in new versions
Both ScidvsPC 4.9 and Scid 4.4 have not "snack2.2 folder" in lib folder.
I took "snack2.2" of ScidvsPC 4.8 and i put it in lib folder of ScidvsPC 4.9 and Scid 4.4 and sounds are ok now.

With http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scidvspc_20130721.zip You have to replace the following files.
- scid.exe
- scid.gui
Here is the Change Log from the commits history for June 19 to now
[Hide]
- Code:
2013-07-21
Windows focus stealing tweak. Without this, MSWindows will steal focus from error dialogs.
Translation correctness tweaks.
FICS tweaks: Update Help item, Dont leave Refresh button disabled in case of DNS failure, Add a 'Defaults' button.
Allow for alternative FICS URL.
Remove broken(?) Russian translation. Also, some maintenance on the language stuff, and remove the unused 'helpMsg' proc.
Add NAG symbols to the help file.
Dutch translations updated, from Peter Tak.
Tourney: add the 'Engine Scores as comments' option to the tourney GUI, and make some minor global/:: var changes.
Tweak game browser: flip automatically if board is flipped, and load at game ply.
Flip the small (optional) board in analysis window if main board is flipped (todo: overhaul this code).
Add user option to save Tournament scores and times as comments.
Switcher menu 'close base' -> 'close'.
Make 'Snack missing' message more prominent (in sound options window).
Drag and Drop message translations.
Add a link to the subversion tarball to doco.
Tidy up sgml stuff and remove htdocs directory.
Excempt focus [wm stackorder] call on OS X.
X drag and drop hardening.
Moderately important MSWindows and drag and drop related tweaks/bug-fixes.
Add a missing menu refresh.
Update drag and drop to Scidb's framework. Should work better with Gnome and dragging from the KDE desktop. (From Gregor).
Add undo points for user generated sc_pos addNag.
Convert braces '{', '}' to '(',')' when exporting PGN comments (against PGN standard). Also tweak various PGN help topics.
Remove global var treeWin which inaccurately represented if a tree window is open.
FICS: check to save game before entering exam mode.
Remove sc_search_repertoire from tkscid, and tweak some filter related comments.
When diffing twin games, ignore newlines in the comments, which make diffing impossible.
Fix: trying to export/write a PGN file without write permissions gave error dialog and persistent busy cursor.
When closing the opening report, do a tree clean to reset the dbFilter. Also some cpp formatting tidies.
tweak previous commit to work better with OS X.
Tweak bindings for docked mode when entering a variation.
Add Book Tuning to dockable windows.
Remove unwanted image from previous commit.
Move the big switcher bookmark button to a little gamelist one.
Use sizeof for nagtext array bounds check.
Tree doesnt need to update wm title. (Breaks FICS time+increment in title).
Bookmarks: add a few key bindings (delete/up/down) and update help.
Update (and bugfix) to SCID's more comprehensive NAG detailing.
Tweak previous docking commit.
Trim a verbose base compaction dialog.
Raise maintenance window after compaction.
Remove stackorder from docked mode binding, and try to make Auto Focus work sanely. Prev. it was adjusting focus with every new mouse hover over widget.
Give gamelist the widest paned window in docking mode.
Drag and drop changes: Hack to allow undocked gamelist to accept file drops (Gnome doesnt work with docked mode). Syn with Scidb's current code. Unbusy cursor before showing a few file open error dialogs.
Doco update: svn and OS X updates.
Makesure ::fics::timecontrol is init.
Remove the icon functions from the switcher context menu. Middle click now toggles show/hide the database icons.
Docked Tab menus sometimes don't work perfectly (inactive tabs can give menus). This gotcha may sometimes affect them.
On OS X docked always focus follow mouse as stackorder is broke. Probably bugs here. ?
Give comment editor text window a border
Minor fics window raise tweak.
Version info for the OS X point release of 4.9.2.

Thanks a lot. In fact I know how to use Scid well. Problem is that I tend to get a "snack sound package not installed".
- Remove all others.
- Try a fresh installation.
- Right click while pressing the Shift key on the setup then "excecute with admin rights ..."
If that does not work with an installation in the folder "Program Files"
then try installing with administrator privileges.
To do it like this:
at step a) Right click while pressing the Shift key on the setup then "excecute with admin rights ..."
I did print and follow the tutorial but still no snack and no sound. I just give up. Thank you anyway.
