Deploy Windows Live Photo Gallery & Movie Maker via SCCM

Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery & Movie Maker are one of the useful image & video management tools even in a professional environment. Having tried multiple ways to silently deploy this tool, I found a blog post of pcloadletter which greatly helped with the command line for the application (wlsetup-all.exe).

I had even tested the deployment script through SCCM on a test machine and it worked like a charm. Hence I thought I could share his post and the finding here.

Though the post says about Installing on Windows 8 OS, I had tested the same command line install on my Windows 7 machine.
