How to install Microsoft Office Picture Manager in Windows 11 - Sharepoint 2010 installer won't work.

So a long-standing recommendation from Microsoft, as can be seen all over the place, is for users who want to use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to install it from the freely-available Sharepoint 2010 installer.

And up until now, that always worked just fine. However...I just rebuilt a computer for which I had a Windows 10 license...and instead of installing any of my programs after the Win10 install, I decided to just push through to Win11 before installing anything.

The problem that I've now discovered is that the Sharepoint 2010 installer doesn't work on Windows 11. So...can't get Picture Manager installed. And granted that I've now gotten pretty much everything else installed, I can't see tearing it back down and restarting with Win10 in order to do that install before upgrading to Win11.

Anyone have any other ideas? Running the Sharepoint installer in compatibility mode doesn't do the trick either.

    Whomever decided that the current photo app for Microsoft is superior to Microsoft Picture Manager either has no clue what they are talking about, or they have been moved up to an office with a view because they have good hair. J/S!

    Absolutely. My thoughts exactly. I keep installing it, but I can't find it anymore after resetting my computer. I was actually looking for it on Microsoft website and I ran into this thread.

    It occurs to me that those of us who'd find it useful to have this option available in the future might do well to save the sharepoint installation download on our local drives so we can be sure of having it next time it's needed ...

    Hi there,

    I found this link & enabled Microsoft Picture Manager in my Windows 11 machine.

    I think it's sorted my problem...
