Original title: I can't get my wlmp file to open in windows live media player

 

I was making a video earlier today for a client and spent well over 6 hours on it.

I have tried to open it on my home computer and it is saying that the file isn't compatible with the version of windows live movie maker I have. 
"Sorry, Windows Movie Maker can't open this product file. the file might not be compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or be corrupted. Please select a different project file. 

How can I open this project in Windows Live Movie Maker?"
I then tried loading two old versions of windows movie maker, and it wouldn't load on those either.... I am at my wits end - I spent hours on this video and don't want to have to start over entirely. 
I can't find a codec, I can't find an old version of windows live movie maker, and I can't find any way to salvage the project. Even if I had a way to turn the project to a video file I would be happy with, but nothing is working.
