Extract your original xp cd
Then you expand I386\MOVIEMK.IN_ (7zip can do it)
Rigkt click on moviemk.inf (make sure it still in the \I386 dir) and choose "Install"
Finally you may have to install KB981997 security update

This should work because moviemk.inf has a [DefaultInstall] section

That's the problem with removing things. In many cases they CAN'T just be put back. In this case I honestly haven't looked. Easiest and safest way is just redo it and don't take it out next time.

Cheers and Regards

I received "installation failed" error. I finally reinstalled the OS with original CD. Thanks for your support.

It will install but you have to edit the installer, and if you do install it dont forget the security update KB2424434

To enable install on XP delete (with orca or insted) LaunchCondition -> VersionNT = 600
