Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 Dolby Audio Problem

The main specs. of my computer are:

Processor:                         Intel Core i7  950 @ 3.07 Ghz

Installed Memory (Ram):  12 GB.

System Type:                    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Graphics Card:                  Nvidia Geoforce GTX 7 70

Plug-ins                             Red Giant

I was using PrPro CC 2015.3 with no problem at all. After reinstalling Windows 7, I wanted to try the new Adobe PrPro CC 2018 and here the problems started as I could not open my projects which were created using the PrPro CC 2015.3 and I got an error message: " the selected file could not be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (video and audio)"  After doing some research I could find that the reason of this problem was the the newest version of Adobe PrPro does not support the Dolby Audio  !!!!!!!!!  I couldn't find a correct solution for this. Adobe respected staff, Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance.

    I consumed a lot of time to research this issue and most probably the reason of the above error is the absence of the Dolby Audio decoder because of my update to PrPro CC 2018

    That's my impression also.

    I have not upgraded to PPro 2018 due to all of the problems noted on this forum, so I have no first hand experience.

    However, it seems that PPro 2018 will rely on the operating system to have functioning Dolby decoder rather than providing that codec in as it has done in the past.

    Also looks like the problem is more complicated if you are running Win 7 as it also has no Dolby decoder.

    Kona, I already searched the forum and they are mostly not giving any correct solution, the following is an example:

    We want Dolby back again
