Windows 10 - Movie maker MSI?

[nbougourd]

Hello everyone. This is my first post so I'm sorry if this turns up in the wrong location! I am currently designing an MSI installer to Install Windows Essentials 2012 (Movie maker only) via group policy and I have used various software packages to provide solutions for this. However Every MSI package I create will run but the process named' Windows Essential Installer 2012 (32 Bit)' closes shortly after. Is there anyone that has created such application that I could implement that works? Many thanks to all.

I had a go a while back. I couldn't get it working.

I don't know if this helps but I got this working using EMCO and this .exe of Movie Maker http://g.live.com/1rewlive5-all/en/wlsetup-all.exe??WLXID=b1738983-4841-4c2b-8f47-9218e00c08cf&RID=00257bb72c2&TID=1422274130435&lid= with the parameters

wlsetup-all.exe /AppSelect:MovieMaker /NOToolbarCEIP /NOhomepage /Nolaunch /NOMU /nosearch /q

Have a look here : https://pcloadletter.co.uk/2012/08/22/deploying-windows-photo-gallery/

 

I just add HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Common","TOUVersion","16.0.0.0" for moviemaker.

How many machines we talking?

 

Back before I used SCCM I use to do batch script deployments for exe's I could make into MSI's.

This involved writing a batch file which would ROBOCOPY the exe to the client machines along with a copy of PSEXEC and then running a PSEXEC command to execute the exe with necessary switches.

You write the few lines of code needed them just do an AD dump of computer names, copy and paste all the lines of code with computer names and then run the batch file walking out the door with all the machines on and evaluate next day. Worked well back then and should still do now.

Hello all, thanks for the replies, For the time being I would just like one MSI file that I can distribute over a group policy, I have even made a batch file to execute the Windows live package so that Movie Maker only installs but unfortunately this would be done through an EXE and BAT file. I should also add that I even made an Iexpress package that executes the .BAT file after extraction. From there I tried putting this exe file into an MSI which also failed.

from my own tests with live movie maker it just will not install as an msi you will have to sue some sort of startup/shutdown script. What @RMD put is basically what i used

 

if exist "c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\MovieMaker.exe" goto :end
\\server\share$\wlsetup-all.exe /AppSelect:MovieMaker /NOToolbarCEIP /NOhomepage /Nolaunch /NOMU /nosearch /q
:end

P.S. I believe that Movie Maker as part of Windows Essentials 2012 goes out of support in January 2017.

 

Apparently a new version of Movie Maker will become available from the Windows Store... at some point.

Not sure which is worse, current terrible microsoft installers (didn't you invent MSI and GPO microsoft?), or Windows store deployments

I wonder what "goes out of support" will mean.

 

It still installs OK on 1607 although I can't seem to stop it asking the end-users to accept the Microsoft Service Agreement on first use - which fails anywhere because it then says it needs admin rights :/

iirc there is a reg key you can fire out to stop that but off hand i cant remember what it is

These are the registry settings we push out to stop all of the annoying prompts.
