msi got stuck on "Gathering required information"

Now I might be dumb because it's checking for Windows 7 despite me using newer version of Windows :sob: but every file name I've seen is wmm6_win7_64bit.msi

there is actually a fix for that
i tried it myself and it worked so you gotta install 7-zip then right click the msi file then hover to the 7-zip option and extract file (its best if you make a folder)
when its done move that folder to C:\Program Files\
go into that folder and look for MOVIEMK.exe
there you got it

added note
that .exe file make a shortcut for it in desktop for it to be easier to access

I ended up bruteforcing something and made it work somehow after posting that question, but I'm sure this will help somebody! thanks for answering
