I went to a windows 10 class a few weeks ago and was impress with the 2012 Photo Gallery system that was on their desktop computers so I decide to download 2012 windows essential and only check the photo gallery/movie maker part.  The photo gallery would open up but a message would come shortly after that it had to shut down and that I would be contacted after they discover the problem.  That was weeks ago so I deleted the program and downloaded it again and check all the programs.  Now when I open photo gallery I get a message that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition is needed to make it work.  The download  for sql server is has not been available since 4/12/2016.  I then chatted online with a Microsoft tech advisor and he asked if was to be used on a server or a PC.  I told him it would go on a laptop with windows 10.  He suggested downloading Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Express Edition which I did.  I still get the same message along with Error code 0x8007045a.  Has anybody been able to load it after 4/12/2016.  I'm surprised that Microsoft did not have a current Windows Essential already built in to windows 10.  Judging from all the complains on the Community site I think it's time for Microsoft to admit that there is no fix for the 2012 version and announce a time frame when they hope to have an updated one.
