Question asked on May 29, 2017

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 10 on it. I had Live Photo Gallery installed but when I go to open it, I get the following message:

Photo Gallery can't start because Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition is missing. Would you like to go to the Microsoft Download Center to install it?

I go to the download center and click the link, which tells me that the download is no longer available.

I used Microsoft Chat to try and get a resolution. They told me I had to update my Windows 10 to the latest version and he guaranteed me that it would work. Guess what, it didn't.

I then went to chat again and got absolutely NO help at all. 

Please help me!!! I only like using Live Photo Gallery for editing my pics.
