I have a CyberLink_HolidayPackV3_1012_MTP101020-01 that came with purchase of PD9. Can I install it in PD 10 and if so, what is the best/safest way to do it?

Hi,
I believe if you install the PD9 packs and still have pd9 installed pd10 picks them up, but not sure about if you don't have pd 9 installed as the installation may look for pd9. when I installed 0d10 Ultra it came with packs from version 7,8 and 9 but not sure if all were there.
Install and see what happens LOL Intel i7-2600@3.4Gz Geforce 560ti-1GB Graphic accelerator, windows 7 Premium 12GB memory

Forgot to mention....

I installed PD10 on "clean" PC, so there is no trace of PD9 there.

Hi,
Well Like I said try and see, you will probably just get a message saying pd9 could not be found, or it will see PD10 and install anyway.

G'day Peter -

That's a menu pack, right? If you had it installed with PD9 it (probably) would have been stored in C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector\Menus & would, therefore, have gone west with your uninstall of PD9.

I'm assuming you've already checked to see whether or not those menus are currently available in PD10. Yes? No?

If not, I'd go with James' suggestion. Install them & see what happens. With PD10, because it shares menus with PD9, the Content Packs are installed in a different location C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\templates\PowerDirector Content Pack 10

Cheers - Tony

Peter100: I had PD9 installed on one computer and then bought the full version of PD10 Ultra for the second computer. Like you, I wanted the Holiday Pack that came with PD9. So I transfered the Holiday Pack files to the right folder on my PD10 computer and PD10 recognized the PD9 files right away. No need to install or do anything fancy.

If you did an upgrade, your old PD9 Holiday Pack might have been blown away, but if you have a backup, you should be able to find the Holiday Pack folder, restore it, and then move them to the correct PD10 folder. In my case, it was under C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyberlink\Templates\Menus.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

Thank you all for the information.

I was smart enough to save entire PD9 directory before I have uninstalled PD9 from my PC. However placing it under C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyberlink\Templates\Menus did not work for me.

I decided to just install it and this went smooth without any complains that PD9 is not present. Now PD10 recognize the pack.

Peter100: Glad it worked for you. I wonder why you had to install and I didn't ... ? Doesn't matter, I guess, because you got it working.

Happy PowerDirecting and thanks for getting back to us. Have a great day.
