How do you fix the WLDCORE.dll error in Windows 10?

I upgraded my Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate on Toshiba Laptop (Satellite S70 Series) to Windows 10 without using an ISO.

I installed Mail and Movie Maker (1, 2) couple of months ago and at that time I did not install all the programs in Windows Essentials.

The missing DLL error

When I tried to access the Windows Live Mail app in all Apps as shown here,

 WldcoreDLLError9.png
I would immediately get a missing DLL Error.

I would also get this error if I try to click on an email link on Microsoft Edge to send the mail.

I looked for this file on the computer as well as in the registry. I could not find the file. It appears to me that if you do not install all the programs in Windows Essentials then you would not have this dll in your computer although Windows Essentials 2012 is on your computer.

The programs in Windows Essentials2012 are:

I did find Windows Essentials on my computer (Control Panel | Programs and Features | Programs) .

Hence I decided to repair the program by opting to Change rather than Uninstall.
Here are some repair shots:

This fixed the problem and I could start Windows Live Mail without any problems. The wldcore.dll was found in Program Files(x86.
Windows Live Mail has a neat user interface and I may stop using gmail.

Can you install Microsoft Movie Maker on Windows 10?

The answer is yes. Yes, you can.

It comes as a bundle in Windows Essentials 2012. I think if you installed it on Windows 8.1 before upgrading to Window 10, it should still work. However, you may download Windows Essentials 2012 once again and install from the bundle you need not install all the items in the Windows Essentials, you can pick and choose.

Get Windows Essentials 2012 (wlsetup-web.exe) from here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-movie-maker-download

Note: You may not be able to get this file as it is no longer supported.

I have not tried this but you may try this link (the marketing manager indicated this link):

Microsoft site does not mention that it can be installed on Windows 10, but in fact, it does and works without any errors.

Here are some screenshots from my most recent installation:

In this screen, you choose what to install.

 

 Once installed you can find the app in All Apps under the 'M' category.

 Here is mp4 video imported into the movie maker.

You cannot directly import from your phone, you need to get it on your computer.

Good luck!
