You can install Windows Movie Maker 2.6 on XenDesktop 5 or Higher, and it doesn't need DirectX to work. It looks like Microsoft know the image is virtual machine, and doesn't want to install it. You will get the error message saying that this can be installed on Windows Vista only. When in fact if you install it on a physical box it will install just fine onto Windows 7. I had to trick the virtual machine to think it was already installed to by pass the system checks. I have attached the register file in a Zip file. Basically I gathered up all the register keys, so that I would think it was installed on the virtual machine. First you will have to import the register files onto your Xendesktop Image. Next you go to: Download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 from Official Microsoft Download Center, and download the Movie Maker 2.6 MSI. Place this file onto the C:\ drive; I set the register keys look for the installer there. Next run the MSI, and the installer setup page bring you to the uninstall and repair window. Repair the installed, and you are all done. Movie Maker will not run from XenCenter(requires sound), nor will it run from RDP. You will have to provision the Image to see that it works.Windows_Movie_Maker.zip

Think its kind of strange they created a work around for Google Earth(HDX Optimization Pack for Google Earth - Citrix eDocs) D3D9.dll, but they have nothing going on for windows photo viewer, windows movie maker, etc.
