The Hidden Powers action player postdates the book, so no help there i’m afraid – you need to post this question on Richard’s forum on Retouchpro.com for more detailed help.
What I know: Not all actions will run in Elements – and most existing actions will need some editing, if only to remove all the capital letters/non alphanumeric characters that give Elements indigestion. There is an advanced rtf document that you should have with the Hidden Elements download which gives some indications of what can/needs to be done.
Paul Shipley’s add on does not play actions. Ling Nero also has an action player with a large range of actions, and her site now also has gudelines for editing/writing actions so that Elements can play them.

While her pre written actions are useful I found it hard to add either my own or other peoples actions to her player – I prefer Richard Lynch’s implementation for this. It is Much easier writing actions from scratch to be Elements compatable than trying to edit existing actions… i’ve done a fair number of attempts at the latter and my success rate is low except for some very simple ones.
