DVD Maker activation error

Hi, I got my Windows 7 Home premium about 18 months ago and have never had a need to use DVD maker. So when someone told me I could use it to make menu's on my home movies I wanted to try it.
So I got to "Programs and Features" to activate DVD maker but it won't work. It gives an error "Unable to install some features"

Can I download it ? On the Microsoft website I see only a developers kit for Vista.

Appreciate your help.
Thank you
Pete

Thanks Ztruker, unfortunately it did not work. It said something to the effect some files could not be updated, look in the CBS.log for details.
Looked for this file afterwards but could not find it.

I have used CDBurnerXP for years. But as far as I know it does not let you add menu's to your movie dvd's.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

OK, found the folder but it only has CAB files in it. When I look at it with WinRar it has a huge text file in it. 4500 pages of text.

Related question: Can I re-install dvd maker from the 3 system restore disks or the system repair disk which I created when I first got the computer?
And if possible, how do I go about doing that without messing up all the updates I have done since then?

That looks like a very invasive operation.


Someone suggested to look in the DVD Maker folder en see what files are there. Well I did and all it shows is 3 DLL files Pipeline, Pipetran and WMM2clip) and two sub-folders (en-US and Shared). Both sub-folders are empty.

So to me it looks like a lot of missing files.

Hey thanks a million. It is working. It doesn't show in programs on control panel and it does not work when I put the checkmark in programs and features , but it will work running the dvdmaker.exe program directly.
Will try it out this weekend and see if it will burn also.

Thanks again. Nice to finally play with it and learn to use it.
Much appreciated.
