mkanet, I updated powerdvd 8 to the latest version last night, then ran the setup.exe. It worked like a charm. The only thing is that I can't get powerdvd to open in fullscreen mode. (Not a big problem, I have the energy to still simply double-click the window
) I also noticed that when I right click in the window, the options window reads "powerdvd 7" I'm glad to have hd dvd playback again. I was going to try samuraihl's work around, but happily stumbled upon your thread. Thank you very much for the custom installer.
