What do you mean by "fail"? are you getting any fail error messages?

Have you tried to install the package with your anti-virus OFF or disabled? Are you connected to the Internet when you try to install?

What operating system are you using? Are you getting any message about UAC - User Account Control? .

Well when it the installation comes to point where it needs to do something with c++ this is the message I get:
"The process cannot continue because the (Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable
Package ATL Security Update(x86)) install was unsuccessful. Please contact Microsoft technical support
for assistance. The installation will now abort."

I have checked online on how to deal with this but I found no easy (that I could understand) way to deal
with it.

And yes, I have tried to install it with my anti-virus off (I use Trend Micro) but it still doesn't work.

I'm using a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS and no, I do not get any message about UAC.
And I have tried to run it as admin but no luck there either.

Any idea whats wrong?

I fixed it apparently I had to change the name of a folder in the regedit: "F942F94....." to "-F942F94....." THEN install ms visual
C++ sp1 redistributable package x86 and THEN run the installer to powerdvd 12. So problem solved

I'm having the same problem with PowerDirector 13. Tried all the fixes/workarounds mentioned, but to no avail thus far. Running Windows 7 Professional (64bit).

I too suffer from this in trying to install PhotoDirector 5. I have PD13 Ultimate and AudioDirector 5 with no problem during the install.
I have disabled antivirus (Avira), and tried the registry key "hack" and that too did not seem to work.
Running a fresh install of Win7 Pro 64bit.

Ken, Contact Tech Support. since you said you tried all the fixes and none worked.

It is a Windows error and not an error with the program. What error code number are you getting? There should be one.

It is better if you start your own thread ain the correct part of the forum (Power Director) and provide this information in this link:

Power Director 11 is an old version; had you installed it before and now you can't. More information needed.

Have you tried to udownload the fixed version of Power Director from the Updates page? .
