in addition to that....
I found an alternative link if you want to skip the validation thingy
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/9/4/494AB2A4-1427-4ABC-9E75-472F7F2C146B/Pstory.msi

or here http://www.softwarepatch.com/graphics/photostory3.html

and found out that NERO can convert wmv into DVDs directly...

read info from the links on papajohn site about converting to dvd and on
this page:
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-DVD-Ahead.html

from that page:

3/5/06 - If you have NERO 6.6 you probably have Nero Vision Express as well
(it's normally part of the package).... using it for months now and it is
magic!!! It combines rendering (MPEG-2), authoring (nice menus) and burning
and all that starting from one or more WMV files made by Photo Story 3.

1/12/06 - Nero Vision Express 3, bundled with Nero 6, accepts WMV files
perfectly.

6/19/05 - Q: I recorded a movie from WMM to a DVD disc using Nero 6 (latest
update 4 days ago). Plays back fine on the burner in the PC but when put
into a CyberHome 300, get a dialog saying 'No supported files found". Any
ideas on what is wrong?

A: Did you use Nero Vision Express? Nero *Vision* Express is different from
Nero Express or Nero Burning Rom which are just starter applications that
cannot make a DVD Video. If you don't have Nero Vision Express get it from:
Nero (Update Package 2)

For tutorials on using NeroVision Express, see this support site of nero.
