The link you provided as "Safe Download of Movie Maker".
No, I do not receive an error during the installation, but when it's finished I still don't have the Movie Maker app.

Hi. I wanted to edit a movie with Windows Movie Maker, when I realized the .exe of the application was deleted. I tried downloading Windows Essentials 2012 and reinstalling Movie Maker (I also used Microsoft install/uninstall tool) but it didn't help. I think there is a problem in the installation process of Windows Essentials, because when I open "Apps and features" and search for "Windows Live Essentials", both "Modify" and "Uninstall" options are disabled (greyed out). Is there a way to bring movie maker back?
I am using a 64bit Windows 10 Pro.

2018-06-02T18:51:13+00:00 If you open your Start menu and begin typing "Movie Maker" does it find anything?
Also, if you navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Photo Gallery, do you see MovieMaker.exe?
If you do find MovieMaker.exe, just right-click and pin to Start Menu or pin to Taskbar.

2018-05-25T20:37:38+00:00 Movie Maker was previously provided as part of Windows Essentials 2012 which could be loaded on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. But it was officially retired January 2017.
Movie Maker went away on January 10, 2017
That link provides more details along with a link to find an archived copy of the Windows Essentials 2012 installer.

Since you are on Windows 10, the recent Fall Creators Update included an update to the Photos App that allows you to create movies from photos and videos. I would start investigating that as a way to create your movies in Windows 10.
