Hi,
Windows movie maker is registered software of Microsoft Corporation. And also it is built-in software. So you can’t change, remove or replace it with any other versions of Windows movie maker.
You need to install registered version of Microsoft Corporation for install Windows movie maker.
There are many free Windows movie maker update in websites. Do not install them.
They will not match with Windows movie maker.
You need to download update from only the Website of Microsoft Corporation.
Download this Windows movie maker from there then install it.
Other option is to repair your windows. May be some of your Windows movie maker’s file are crushed.
In this case you can not install update. So repair first and then install.

First, of all Microsoft Corporation doesn’t support replace or change of any built-in program. The cause of this problem is that the program you are installing is pointing to registry values that has been deleted or moved.
In your case, My Pictures folder might be moved or deleted.
If your My Picture folder is not on your computer, then add a new folder named My Pictures and then alter the registry to point to this folder. So, follow these below steps to do so :
1. Click Start, and then select My Documents.
2. Click on File menu, point to New, and then click Folder.
3. Type My Pictures, and then press ENTER to name the new folder.
4. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
5. Expand the below registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion ExplorerShell Folders
6. Click Shell Folders, right-click My Pictures, and then click Modify.
7. In  Value data box, type the path of the My Pictures folder that you added in steps 1 through 3, and then click OK. For example, the path of the My Pictures folder may be one of the following:
1. C:My DocumentsMy Pictures

Solution 2
Sometimes, we experienced these types of errors in many programs due to any non-English or other language user name. You can check this by clicking start Menu, and top of that it’s written.
Try changing your user name; this might solve your problem.
So, we have to use English writing for selecting username.
Hope this helps you.
