I'm trying to install Powerdirector portion of Cyberlink DVD suite. I had the trial version installed when I tried to install the suite. I received the following error: "Error!! The product definitation file lost."

I tried uninstalling the trial version and I get the same message. The main reason I bought the suite was for Powerdirector and right now I can't use it. Any help would be appriciated.

I have had the same problem. I restored my computer to the date prior to installing the trial version. That took care of the definition problem. Now I have an error message on the Power Director portion saying that a file is missing "trialmgr.exe". The trial version worked just fine. I have redownloaded the purchased program twice to no avail. I saw that this problem has been reviewed by Cyberlink and I needed to contact support. 2 days later and still no answer. I really need to get some work on myvideos done. HELP!

Hi James,

You cannot install the PowerDirector component only, from DVD Suite, it is necessary to install the complete suite then uninstall the items not required

I am currently using PD V7. While working on a project I recieved an "operation failed" error. I can't update the timeline with any information without reciveing the above error.

I try uninstalling the program however it will not allow me to. When attempted I recieve "Product Definition File is lost".

This is the same problem I'm having... How did you all solve it? None of the suggestions above helped.
I have tried every suggestion on the net.
I can't believe this has been going on for 4 or 5 years.

I'm using PD V9
I paid for this software and I shouldn't have these problems.

HELP PLEASE!
