Then, i install the setup on my show computer but now it won't let me, saying that i did to many setup already so i have to submit a ticket to MTU
for permission to install. Everytime, there's a new upgrade, there's always an issue and i 'm already tired of fooling around with this software. I am suffering for a junk beta program. Why don't they just make it simple like the older version. I know people likes to have more features but if they are going to do trial and error, and make user suffer is not a good idea. I think it's for me to try another program. For, the ticket that i submitted to MTU will take weeks and weeks before they resolve it...... I feel sorry for the other user.......

I don't know why you feel sorry for the other users. Is it because of a Microsoft Installer problem (1706 error)? Or the few who are getting the CD/DVD drive bad but still works minor problem?
I don't think you will find any of the competition being just a simple program to operate either. Everyone wants all these features and they are all trying to provide them.
Consider the number of computer manufacturers, the number of different models and versions they each make plus any options you can add or change, the variations of the XP and Vista, and all the other software that you can load onto one and you have just come up with several thousand different computers out there in the world. Now you want them to create a progam that will work on every computer without any problems or bugs what so ever. I would check those other software producers Forums and see if they have any problems before you buy. I hope you can find one, because I haven't seen one without some people having some problems.
Now to your problems:
1. The 1706 error is a Microsoft Installer error that even shows up randomly with some of their own software installs. They don't know how to fix it, so I am not sure why you expect MTU to find the answer. The error does not stop the installation and everything installs correctly. And this is not causing the CD/DVD drive problem.
2. CD/DVD drives being marked as bad is an MTU problem but as has been posted here and you have discovered it will still import, so this is minor and will be fixed as soon as they can figure out why this happens.
3. MTU's delay time on Tickets has never taken "weeks and weeks to resolve a ticket. If you need this computer fast to prevent losing a show then use the Emergency Help link in the Support section to submit your ticket to have your registration reset.
How many computers do you have Hoster installed on? What version are you upgrading from?
