Install the old MS PhotoEd in Win 10?

It would be nice to know exactly which Office versions are involved. I have Office 2000 on a couple of Notebooks running the latest 64-bit of Windows 10 but don't recall seeing that program as a choice. I did Custom installs and did not include Outlook. I do find at times that it is problematic installing old 32-bit programs on 64-bit equipment and nearly impossible with 16-bit programs. WinXP did have a 64-bit version but only for Professional edition.

The original ("real") Photo Editor was included with Office97 and Office2000. Later versions revised it to Microsoft Picture Manager which was quite different. Somebody worked up an x64 installer for Win7 (I want my MS Photo Editor back! Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums) and it appears to be workable in Win10, I'm hesitating only over installing XP-based elements into the new OS...

I still want the extremely simple and effective functionality that MS Photo Editor provides (photoed.exe from old Office versions). I have an x64 installer somebody made for Win7 (worked perfectly in Win7) and tested installing it into Win10 ~ it seemed to work EXCEPT that MS Update demanded some XP-sp3 updates which either would not install or could not be found. These appear to be available as standalone downloads from sites like CNET and such, but I'm wondering if installing these old elements -- unsupported updates and such -- into Win10 is significantly problematic.

Please note I'm not looking for alternative image editor suggestions (and not interested in virtualization), just wondering two things:

(A) does anybody have a dedicated Win10 installer for MS Photo Editor?
(B) assuming I can install and run it, do the XP-period elements represent a significant, persistent security risk for Win10?

I would like to know if you were able to install MS Photo Editor on Windows 10. MS Photo Editor is the most convenient image editor for me, and I just bought a new notebook that comes with Windows 10 that does not have Photo Editor.
Thanks in advance.

First post

I've the same problem.
I've office 2019 installed, and I can install photo editor (ver 3.0.2.3) from my office xp CD.

As mentioned, Windows 10 wants to update office xp but fails.
However, this update works when only office xp is installed on win10. (Checked on my portable).
Happily, I've the office xp sp3 installer executable, and I can install this update without problems.
But, the additional security updates for office xp, can not installed by the win10 installer. He gives an error.

So he problem is as follows (I think):
- The windows 10 updater fails to update office xp due to the presence of office 2019.
- Manual installation of the update executables works.

Another solution I found, is described here :
MS Photo Editor - Windows 7 Help Forums

However, on win 10 are some issues, but are covered here :

Unhappily, I was not able to perform the tweaks as mentioned in this article.
So if someone has a good idea, I am looking forward to it.

Kind regards,
Mark

I have been using PhotoEd in Windows 10 without issue for a while. The Seven Forums links provided are the sources, IIRC, but just in case check this out too: Iscove Lab Software - Homebrew
