Default Very important: What OLE Server replaced MS Photo Editor?

If you use VBA to add a photo to a Word document, you have to have the OLE
Server, MS Photo Editor, installed or else the photo will be inserted as a
"package object" icon instead of as a photo.

However, Office 2003 and onward automatically removes MS Photo Editor
because Microsoft replaced it with Photo Organizer (or some such thing). But
the replacement software evidently does not act as an OLE Server. So to have
photos inserted as photos, you have to go back and reinstall MS Photo Editor.

What's the Microsoft-recommended action to clear up the situation?
