After 'Preparing your computer for installing Roxio products' here. Things I do before installation, in this order. Disable W-7 User Account Control (UAC), clean all cache, cookies, private data, clear history, delete the temp file contents (start run %temp%), run disc cleanup, empty the recycle bin, run disc defragmenter on the operating system C / installation drive. Reboot the PC, close all unnecessary running programs, disconnect from the internet and turn off / stop antivirus and firewall software. Now I'm ready to install the software.

Put the Roxio Creator 2011 Pro Disc # 1 in a DVD Drive, it should autorun or click start My Computer, right click on the drive with the disc, open / explore the disc, click on setup.exe to start the installation.

If you downloaded the program, place or move it into a folder you make on your hard drive and extract it to that folder (WipZip, WinRAR,7-Zip, #16 in my signature), then run the setup.exe.

Below is a attempt to capture most of the install with pics. Shot of the Home Screen and available tabs, Start All Programs listing applications, USB Capture Device showing the correct drivers in Device Manager and a general overview of the Roxio Creator 2011 Pro Suite, not complete screen shots of the entire suite.

Why Roxio choose to have this pop up during the installation is a mystery to me!

I just closed it and continued.

I own the Roxio Video Capture USB Device, Roxio Creator 2011 Pro installs the drivers for it without the device plugged in. When you plugin the device for the first time, after Roxio Creator 2011 Pro installation, Windows recognizes the Device and the correct drivers get assigned to it.
