Question asked on May 26, 2016

Hello,

When I'm launching Windows Live Photo Gallery, a message box is openning: «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?» But there is no file for downloading. And here we can read that the support of SQL Server 2005 ended on April 12, 2016. Then Photo Gallery shuts down with 0х8007045а error.

I have followed the instructions in this topic and also made the «clear installing» but there is no result.

In Russian Microsoft I was informed that support of SQL Server 2005 ended and that's why Photo Gallery will not work on Windows 10.

But here you can read replies from many users, who write that Photo Gallery works on Windows 10.
