DVD Maker activation error

Thanks, yes I know how to put a shortcut on the desktop. With my message I just wanted to let you know that it is not quite a proper install. But so far so good it works. Thanks again.

Well tried it, but no luck. Preview works, but trying to burn gives an error. "Cannot create the DVD. An error occurred when burning the DVD."
It shows the right drive letter in the DVDMaker setup but I guess it is missing the connection to a driver because it wasn't installed in the W7 system.

Sorry, I didn't check this forum lately and didn't know you replied.

We couldn't find the cbs.log in the log folder. However we did find a cbspersist*******.log file in the temp directory.
We looked at it but all it showed about dvd maker was the following error:
2012-12-07 00:15:44, Error CSI 00000013@2012/12/7:07:15:44.709 (F) d:\win7sp1_gdr\base\wcp\primitiveinstallers\filehierarchy.cpp(1279): Store corruption detected in function FileInstaller::CFileInstallerHierarchy::CommitFileChanges expression: 0

This probably has to do with the fact that I copied all the files into the directory instead of installing the program.

Link...My Windows DVD Maker stopped working and now won't accept .avi - Microsoft Community

But all that has to do with windows Vista. All codecs links mentioned only apply to vista.

My original DVD Maker problem was because the folder was nearly empty. All DVD Maker support files were missing.
