Windows Movie Maker 6.0 MSI HELP!

[SamBrooks]

Hello all,

I'm have a fair few issues regarding WMM 6.0 (vista version) we are needing movie maker in our school environment (windows 7 machines) but our current 2.6 WMM does not save the final project

We are trying to upgrade to 6.0 as it 'seems' to work much better, but there seems to be no MSI and i have spent far too long now trying to make it work, so has anyone had this issue ? or know of an MSI?

And just to let you know we tried windows live essential WMM and it does not work. Apparently our new systems do not meet the required specification!

Thanks,

Sam Brooks

There is an MSI here but i use an EXE installer - Installing/uninstalling Windows Live 2009 (Wave 3) QFE 2 applications and the Windows Live Communications Platform update « Jonathan Kay, MessengerGeek

Only issue with this is that you need to install a bunch of other things with it
Any just straight up MSI no messing ?

Sorry i didn't spot that.

Have you tried the .exe installer?

[SamBrooks]

The exe for 6.0 was very poor, was unable to install it silently.

I use the one in this blog without any issues. - Windows Movie Maker (the non-Live) version on Windows 7 - Blogs - EduGeek.net

Getting there, now just need to create a silent install via batch

[FN-GM]

Did you manage it? Before i went to SCCM i used to use that method.

[SamBrooks]

Sadly no luck, It's a pain when it comes to silent exe's, looks like i'm going to be spending more hours finding a resolution!

For people who are trying to do this i have found a way!
I found 2 MSI's which were for 32bit and 64bit, BOTH MSI'S HERE
The command i used was this

@echo off


IF EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)" (GOTO 64BIT) ELSE (GOTO 32BIT)


:64BIT
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\MOVIEMK.exe" (GOTO END) ELSE (GOTO 64BITYES)


:64BITYES
echo 64bit Selected
msiexec /i "\Servernamehere\wmm6_win7_64bit.msi" /qn
GOTO END


:32BIT
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\MOVIEMK.exe" (GOTO END) ELSE (GOTO 32BITYES)


:32BITYES
echo 32bit Selected
msiexec /i "\\Servernamehere\wmm6_32bit.msi" /qn
GOTO END


:END
echo WMM 6.0 Installed!

Hopes this helps someone!

Thanks,
