I'm running Windows XP SP3. I want to install Movie Maker, but apparently it comes with SP2. I looked around, but it doesn't seem to be installed. There's a movie maker folder in Program Files that has a bunch of DLLs and a shared folder with some stuff, but no executable. What can I do?

Windows Movie Maker is now part of the Windows Live package. You can get it by downloading the Windows Live installer, see:

Unfortunately though you need Windows Vista or 7 to use the newest version. You should still be able to download the old Xp version from http://downloads.cnet.co.uk/view/video-software/windows-movie-maker-windows-xp-39059185/ though.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, the Download links just lead back to Microsoft's site. – Javier Badia Mar 23 '11 at 16:02
So it does, the only other link I can find which does seem to work is ftp.microsoft.com.ar/so/mm20enu.exe (from the external links section of the wikipedia page on Movie Maker en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Movie_Maker#Windows_XP). – SilentCoyote Mar 23 '11 at 16:19

Microsoft's website advises it can be obtained from Windows Updates: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

I went to the Microsoft Update site, but it wasn't listed in the software updates. Where specifically should I look? – Javier Badia Mar 22 '11 at 23:52

Movie Maker should be in Add/Remove Programs → Windows Components. Make sure you have the XP install media.
