[Download](https://github.com/AnimMouse/QTFiles/releases) the latest QTfiles.7z (if you are using qaac.exe) or QTfiles64.7z (if you are using qaac64.exe).\n2. Place the QTfiles folder if you are using qaac.exe or QTfiles64 folder if you are using qaac64.exe besides the qaac executable file.\n3. Finished. qaac is now portable.\n\n## icudt62.dll dummy file\nThe \"icudt62.dll\" aka the International Components for Unicode data file inside the QTfiles.7z or QTfiles64.7z is just a [dummy file](https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=85135.msg977394#msg977394) because most of the content in the icudt62.dll is not required. But the original file is in the QTfiles64-icudt62.dll.zst or QTfiles-icudt62.dll.zst on the release.\n\n\"For encoding only, most of the content in the icudt55.dll (icudt62.dll) is not required. But the file icudt55.dll (icudt62.dll) can't be deleted, the encoder would refuse to work if it is not present. But you can replace the original files of several MB size with the tiny dummy DLL's, and the encoder still works.\" - [LigH](https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1831215#post1831215)\n\nDummy DLL generated using [dummy-dll-generator](https://github.com/ykhwong/dummy-dll-generator).\n\n## Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime\nIf you have it, no need to copy msvcp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll. If it's not working, install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 or download QTfiles-msvc.7z or QTfiles64-msvc.7z and place the dll besides the qaac executable file.\n\n### Directory Tree\n\n* For 32-bit\n  * qaac.exe\n  * QTfiles\n    * ASL.dll\n    * CoreAudioToolbox.dll\n    * CoreFoundation.dll\n    * icudt62.dll\n    * libdispatch.dll\n    * libicuin.dll\n    * libicuuc.dll\n    * objc.dll\n* For 64-bit\n  * qaac64.exe\n  * QTfiles64\n    * ASL.dll\n    * CoreAudioToolbox.dll\n    * CoreFoundation.dll\n    * icudt62.dll\n    * libdispatch.dll\n    * libicuin.dll\n    * libicuuc.dll\n    * objc.dll\n\n### More Infos\n[Using qaac without iTunes](https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/BatchEncoder/wiki/Tutorial-Using-qaac-without-iTunes)\n\n[Apple AAC](https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Apple_AAC)\n\n[More Infos from hydrogenaudio](https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_and_QAAC)\n\nMy recommended GUI encoder that can use qaac: [fre:ac](https://www.freac.org)","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fanimmouse%2Fqtfiles","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fanimmouse%2Fqtfiles","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fanimmouse%2Fqtfiles/lists"}
