Possible to repair MM 2.1?

[John]

By mistake I have deleted some of the files in
Windows MM 2.1.
Is it possible to repair or reinstall the program?
My OS is XP Pro SP2 with Windows Media Player 10.
Thanks for any help.

check your files against the list on the Setup > MM2.1 page of my site... if
one is missing do a search of your hard drive and copy it from another
folder if you find it.

Papa John,

Thanks for the help.

It now works like a charm. (until I screw the next thing up)

Thanks for your very helpful web site!

As long as you're as good at fixing as breaking, you're OK.... thanks

The installer for Movie Maker can be restarted this way with this command in
a command line or Run. This may not work in all cases as the source files
have been excluded on some builds or they do not ship an OS CD.

C:\>rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128
%systemroot%\inf\moviemk.inf

The system will then prompt for the source files, which may be C:\i386 or
require you to insert an OS CD that came with many machines (some do not as
noted).
