Default Cyberlink PowerProducer

Has anyone managed to install Cyberlink's PowerProducer 3 or
PowerProducer 2.0 Gold on a Win98SE system?

Installshield aborts the installation after telling me that "The
installation will be terminated at this time. This software is
intended for Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000 or above versions only."

The same thing happens on two other Win98SE systems, one of which
belongs to a friend. I've tried three distributions of PP2 Gold, one
that came bundled with some AV capture hardware, another that was
supplied on a magazine cover CD, and the third from Cyberlink Tech
Support. The trial version of PP3 from Cyberlink's web site also
exhibits the same symptoms.

I suspect these products have been misrepresented. My pleas to
Cyberlink to test the software on their own Win98 boxes have been
ignored.

Well I finally succeeded in getting Cyberlink to test their software
on their lab machine. After they did so, I was able to resolve my
installation issue.

The problem is that Cyberlink's installer (Installshield) is not
configured to detect Win98SE version B. This is because Cyberlink's
lab PC is still at version "A". Win98SE becomes version "B" after
installing Microsoft's Security Update CD (Feb 2004):

I have now managed to install PP2 Gold by editing my registry. I did
not need to reinstall Windows, as was suggested by Cyberlink.

My workaround was to temporarily modify the SubVersionNumber parameter
at the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion

Changing the value from "B" to "A" allowed the installation to
proceed.

Thanks for the followup, Franc. Now that you mentioned it, I recall reading a while
back about some other software having the same problem from the same cause, but I
have forgotten what it was or where I read it. Maybe now it will stick in my
memory!
