Thanks for your advise. However, I tried your method and it does not work for me. I am using WINZP Pro and unzipped them to the appropriate folder. I tried it with downloading particles and PIP effects. I noticed that when this was working for me two months ago, that the PD Extractor was creading a folder like "pip001" for each effect.....
In my case you may name the effect folder "Vladimir Putin" and PD16 will re-build the database at each start and show it correctly in the EP list. The (correct) effect name is written in some descriptor file in the folder, if I remember my poor notions in informatics there should be an.xlm file somewhere.
Anyway, try the "old version Extractor" trick, it makes sense.

When I try to install particle files by double clicking them they say they are installed successfully but they don't appear in the particle room. I'm running Powerdirector Ultimate 16.0.2524.0 which I've installed to my D: drive as my C: drive is a small capacity SSD
I gave my solution to this issue here:

It works for me, anyway.
Ciao!

If it may help, the same happens with Express Project "Fashion" (all the 3 modules). Same confirmation message, but nothing happens and the "Downloaded EP" folder is empty.
Edited to report a possible reason:
IT'S THE EXTRACTOR!
I checked it with PIP (extension .dzp) and Express Project (extension .dzep). The extractor puts the extracted files into the temporary folder, then it creates a folder with the proper name, transfers all the files from the temporary folder to the folder with the effect name, then it empties the temporary folder AND ERASES THE EFFECT FOLDER. Don't ask me why, I am a retired pharmacologist and not a computer guy.
WORKAROUND:
Use Winzip or Winrar. The downloaded files are simple .zip files with a changed extension. Unzip them to the proper section of the "downloaded effects" area (C:\Users\Public\CyberLink\Downloaded ***) and it works like a charm. Tested with the Fashion EP and with a random PIP effect
