A. If version 1 starts after you install Windows Movie Maker 2, perform the following steps:

  1. Start Windows Explorer.

  2. Navigate to the %systemroot%RegisteredPackages\{60BFF50D-FB2C-4498-A577-C9548C390BB9} folder (where %systemroot% is the root of your Windows installation). The folder contains three files.

  3. Copy the three files to the %programfiles%movie maker folder (where %programfiles% is your Program Files folder).

  4. Click Yes to overwrite the files.

  5. Navigate to the %programfiles%movie maker folder.

  6. Right-click mm20ex.inf, then select Install from the context menu.

  7. Run moviemk.exe to start Windows Movie Maker 2.
