Windows 10: How to get Windows Live Essentials 2012 working on Windows 11?

Hi, I have gotten the archived exe file and tried to run it, and it returned a 0x800c0006 error. I would include a screenshot but looks like nothing wants to upload. I don't really have much else to say, I'd just really like to use the old movie maker, so if anyone has solutions to getting the file working then it'd be much appreciated, thank you.

Installing Windows Live Essentials 2012 on Windows 11

I am trying to install Windows Live Essentials 2012 on Windows 11 because I want to use Movie Maker and Photo Gallery. I have installed Net Framework 3,5 first but still get an error message 0x800c0006. Any ideas, please?

 

What will happen to the Windows Live Essentials?

It will be preserved:

• If you have Windows Live Essentials installed on your system, the OneDrive application is removed and replaced with the inbox version of OneDrive.

I suggest you upgrade to the latest version prior to upgrading:

Download Windows Essentials 2012 (Web installer)

Download Windows Essentials 2012 (Offline installer)

 

Installing Windows Live Essentials 2012 on Windows 11

Hey Peter,

If you've resolved this by now then well done!

I had the same problem today (28-04-23) I've bought a new laptop with Windows 11 installed and wanted to have Windows Photo Gallery which is such a great app. I read a lot of stuff about it not being available or Microsoft has blocked it from being installed on Windows 11 but I kept trying.

I downloaded Windows Essentials 2012 from c.net and also the additional network programs that get flagged up. Nothing happened until I restarted my laptop and voila....there it was! Now working perfectly and I can tell Windows where to find my photos and to access Windows Photo Gallery to view and edit them.

Hope this helps
