Hi. After about 4 hours last night I cried "Uncle" for the night and went to bed at 12:30 pm. I go to bed at 8:30 so you can see I was wanting to beat this thing.

I tried the uninstall of pd9. It would not uninstall. I then tried the pd8 cd and it tried to uninstall vd9. It tried 78 times before I had to hit the power off button. It kept loading up the installer for vd8 and just kept opening the same window and it counted up to 78.

I ran a reg cleaner and the same error.

Feature Transfere Error
Error -1618 Another installation is already in
progress. Complete that installation
before proceeding with this install.

My windows installer worked fine installing a quick little program for a test. It's just for PowerDirector 8 or 9. I also tried ot reinstall VD9 from CD. Still same Feature Transfere Error.

I went out on the web and found this 1618 error is the Windows Installer but after some 20 attempts and editing the registry it's still there.

I have a backup from 3 weeks ago and have already backed up my changed data today. All I have left is for some grand soul to put me on the right registry cleaner and save me from putting my backup on the disk.

I was doing this to double check PD8 would edit the mov files correctly. PD9 isn't at this time.

I haven't given up yet. ....

I have tried installing from 3 sources. They all do the same thing. Anyone have a good reg cleaner that works that is free?

Any ideas?

Thanks. Sent to your link.

This morning. I had a customer trouble report her dsl had no sync. I have several test sets. It was about 20 degrees outside and wind blowing. I had to warm up my testsets and replace the battery in my tone due to the cold. Each meter I had was telling me wrong information. I knew they were but between all of them telling me wrong info.. I used good common sense and had the open wire fixed with just 2 pole climbings..its cold up there. I used my new ATC 9k head cam and narriated the video and what I was doing. I have 32 years with at&t and one of these days that video will bring some good grins to my face of the good ole days.

Thanks for your help on this .mov thing and the install error. I understand this stuff is sometimes pickled.. (half our stuff at at&t works most of the time) and have been through lots of it with other software so thanks.

Hi Markjonesranger,

I just can't hold my tounge....
try 0 to -5 degrees, for several weeks!
At the moment we only have 15, and it feels like spring.

Hope you get your problem fixed.

Nina, you're in Centigrade and Mark's in Fahrenheit
32F = 0C

Oh heck... 9 and 5 are also involved in working this out it's years since I had to worry about which and what ha ha

Ha. Try climbing a 30 foot pole then you find out what cold is part of my job is being a lineman. My 23 year old daughter just moved up north to Wisconsin its' always 20 degrees colder there than here in Missouri. They were down for Christmas and thought it was a heat wave. GRIN!
I have about 60 church boyscouts camping in a cave this weekend. I hope the weather isnt' nice..GRIN! 3 years ago we were camping in that cave and we had a icestorm of the century. That was fun.

It's going to be fun to edit some of that footage with Powerdirector. A picture is cool but a video is like almost being there.

I uninstalled PD9 and installed PD8 on my laptop. (desktop still gives me the 1618 error if I try to install it even after running the clcleaner).

The mov file plays the same as PD9 in the PD video player video is slow motion and audio is out of sync and finishes before the video. Audio does show up on the PD8 time line and the video plays on the time line but no audio.

Still trying to resolve the install error 1628.

Did several reg cleaners. Tried some error 1618 resolutions with windows still not able to install PD8 or 9.

This is kind of fun. I haven't given up yet. We have some 60 Royal Rangers camping in a cave Friday night so I am in Ranger mode for the next few nights getting ready.

Hi Mark, I mentioned in my email to you to Google "error 1628". Here: The results show a Critical Error. Similar results for error 1618. Looks to be a system error.

Well after some googling and trying several cleaners and things. This is what I did that worked.

I ran the pd8 install again. At the first opening screen where it has 3 install options.

Press CTLR ALT DEL and open the task manager. Under the processes tab I found 2 instances of msiexe running. I stopped both of those processes. Closed task manager and then clicked on the Install PD8 button.

Install went fine. Program renders the Super rendered mov file and I got brave and added a title and particle effect and it produced fine and was in sync.

Thanks for your help here.

I may remove pd8 now and reinstall pd9 and see how it does using the rendered mov file that super makes from my stock camera mov file. Sometimes these things take a little tweaking to get them to go.

Hi Nina. Got the 1618 error fixed and have a fix for the cold ... Me and about 60 Royal Rangers (church boyscouts )are camping in a cave tommarrow night. It's always a balmy 57 degrees in the back of that cave. I am going to be using my new waterproof - shockproof ATC 9K HD Video camera this time to take some video of the event. 15 years ago I brought in a VHS camera and it wasn't the same after that...grin. This time the video camera is made for it. I am so excited to take the footage and edit up a movie for youtube when I get back.

Fun stuff.

Mark Jones
p.s. Its going to be 50 degrees during the day and about 24 at night. So it will be great weather in or out of the cave.
