AVCHD 1080p50 not showing up in Premiere Elements 11

Question

I have Premiere Elements 11, which, according to what I have read, supports editing 1080p50 (or 60 in NTSC). When I create a project it is not showing up in the list of available presets. See the available list below:
Checking the installation directories, I can see that the preset is actually installed on the computer. Screenshot below:
Comparing the two lists, all of the presets are available, except the 1080p 50. The preset has GUID 088bb726-9823-467e-b3b7-26f3703d4cf1, which is included in the Adobe Editing Modes.xml as EditingMode24, enabled on all platforms. I was going to attach both the preset and the editing modes xml to this question, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. They are both reasonably large files, so I am posting below only the definition of EditingMode24. I can post the contents of the preset as well, if required. I am on Windows 7 64bit.

I have noticed that this editing mode does not have a frame rate of 50p, whereas some of the other EditingModes do. Is that what is causing the problem?
Any help with this is much appreciated.

Please excuse if the following has been brought up here or in the other thread that you referenced. I have been exploring and experimenting with this issue of the "Premiere Elements 11 Windows missing AVCHD 1080p50" that some users have run into and thought that I would post my findings here just in case.
A user in France reported the problem, same syndrome, PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset in the program files, but not showing up as a choice in Premiere Elements 11 new project dialog. Program installed with French as language. I received  a copy of the file to study. Except for it having more preset choices than I did, the Notepad document was identical to what I had in my Premiere Elements 11 Windows. Without resorting to your downloadable version, I was able to correct the problem by removing all the descriptions from the "bad" document, copying the same section with seemingly identical script from the "good" document, and then pasting the latter into the "bad" document. Correcting the occasional typing errors in the document, example 1 920 and  080, and removal of several descriptions/languages that I did not have in my copy had no impact on the issue.
Right now the project presets that you have posted appear to be the answer to this problem until Adobe gets around to addressing it. As for those who would like the displayed readouts associated with the preset to agreed with the preset properties, I have posted the following at the other forum that I frequent. The response was addressed to the user in France who was great in follow up.
Here is more information on what was your Premiere Elements 11 Windows missing PAL AVCHD 1080p50 project preset.
If you want VDOSurfer’s PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset file as the replacement for the file that came with your Premiere Elements 11 Windows
a. to be included and displayed in the Premiere Elements 11 Windows new project dialog listings of choice
and
b. to have the descriptions (new project dialog as well as the Edit Menu/Project Settings) agree with the PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset file,
then you need to edit further the Notepad document for VDOSurfer’s PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset file in the following two places in the Notepad document.
1. Where you see
<EditingModeGUID.Win>d10b5335-ce74-4031-bc7c-79e8b73582ee</EditingModeGUID.Win>
<EditingModeGUID.Mac>d10b5335-ce74-4031-bc7c-79e8b73582ee</EditingModeGUID.Mac>
CHANGE TO
<EditingModeGUID.Win>088bb726-9823-467e-b3b7-26f3703d4cf1</EditingModeGUID.Win>
<EditingModeGUID.Mac>088bb726-9823-467e-b3b7-26f3703d4cf1</EditingModeGUID.Mac>
2. Where you see
<VideoFieldType>1</VideoFieldType>
CHANGE TO
<VideoFieldType>0</VideoFieldType>
Also, if you have a PAL AVCHD 1080p50 file, add it to the project, and drag it to the Timeline, you will now find the project will automatically set the project preset and that project preset and description will be for PAL AVCHD 1080p50 settings.
Also be aware that VDOSurfer’s download descriptions in some cases maintain certain references to the word interlaced, presumably because he edited a Notepad document for an interlaced project preset to get his progressive 1080p50 offering. But, I have found that they do not make a difference in arriving at the above.  This aspect of his document can be edited further, replacing “interlaced” with “progressive” in each of the languages offered. But I do not see the purpose in the latter at this point.
There remains many unanswered questions in pin pointing the core of the issue of the missing AVCHD 1080p50 project preset run into by some users. Particularly frustrating is trying to find differences between the Notepad document for the situation that will not work with that which will. Often the documents look identical except for perhaps a 1 920 x  080 instead of a 1920 x 1080. But those typo errors do not answer the "whys" as far as I am concerned since correcting them does not correct the problem at hand.
Until Adobe gets around to clarifying and/or correcting the situation, the work of VDOSurfer, contributions of thers, and the few suggestions that I have made for seeing more  appropriate display of settings should keep things moving along. Focus export settings.
