Cannot install Games for Windows Live
I need to install Games for Windows Live to play several games on this laptop.
When I run gfwlivesetup, all downloads very well and gets to the point where it installs GFWL and I get the following error every time:
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly ' Microsoft.VC90.CRT, version ="9.0.21022.8", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"processorArchitecture ="x 86", type ="win32 "'. See Help and Support for more information. »
Looking through several log files, I discovered the error to be (0x8007078f) code that relates to, "connection failed: the machine you log on is protected by an authentication firewall." The specified account is not allowed to authenticate on the machine. »
So two things come to mind. The account is authenticated and firewall. Well, my account is an administrator account and right click on gfwlivesetup and choose "run as Administrator" does not change a thing. Well, screw the router, I just take the right out of my router modem jack and plug rather the ethernet of my laptop, without going through all the ports that can be blocked. The only firewall that is up and running (the only one installed) is the MS OS firewall, so let's just turn this baby off and still the same error.
So if we ignore all the error code (0x8007078f) completely, then we can treat the error originally presented... I see basically: processorArchitecture = "x 86", type = "win32".
Well, I'm running a Windows 7 64 - Bit, and my processor is a Core i7-740... I am out of the resources here. I have seen many people having the same problem or similar (Google reveals a lot). So if someone is willing to stick with me throughout this, I intend to see resolved (at least for me). I only pray that as I did not reinstall Win 7 or make repairs. They do not understand all of these DVDs with the laptop.
Thanks in advance,

Impossible to update Games for Windows Live
Games for windows Live will not uninstall
I can't upgrade to the new version of GFWL because that will not uninstall, it keeps asking me for a CD.
I tried to use the redistributable that I got from a game to uninstall, but it does not work either.
You can still get a working copy of the "Windows Uninstaller Utility" from Softpedia. Simply click on the 'blue box' to the left of the description and avoid downloading the rest of the Junk software listed as "Download." now

I have this installed on my Windows 7, 64-bit and used more than once. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Need help please, I have tried with my laptop xp no problem at all, it is only with my office. I tried to many now install and uninstall process.
Thank U.Hi D33Viilz,
I found a post on the Games for Windows Live site that has addressed your question. Here are the steps and the link to the original post:
If you're running Vista, you can not uninstall all .NET Framework before 3.0.
If you haven't already, you will need to download 3.5 SP 1 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en
If you are running Windows 7, it should have the most recent of the .NET Framework.
Also, I would say that you are using the tool Mod proposed (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to completely remove Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE and LIVE Redistributable.
When you have finished using the cleanup utility, check that it has been removed through programs and features.
Restart your PC, and then re-download the newest Client of Games for Windows LIVE here: go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9640147

Access my account to Games for Windows - LIVE 3.0
Whenever I try to log in with my account to Games for Windows - LIVE, an error occurs. He said: I can not connect no problem first of all an account. My Xbox.com account, however, is in perfect condition (and it is comprehensive, as well). I really don't know what to do, because when I have access to the link that was suggested by the program (Games for Windows - LIVE), I always get into my page at Xbox.com, but everything goes well with my account here.
The error code is: 80154017 (and I've not found in my research to the Microsoft Web page).
I really hope that this error can be resolved as soon as possible, because most of the games I own use Games for Windows - LIVE to connect online.
My operating system is: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (32 bit).
Thank you.Hi Redfah,
Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.
It seems that the country in which you are located is not a country supported for LIVE services.
The Games for Windows LIVE service is available only for a limited set of countries.
Unfortunately, if you are not located in one of those, you will not be able to use these services.

Games for Windows works only with "games for windows - live» Can not understand.
So the problem I encounter is that I can't get games purchased with the headliner "Games for Windows" to work with the software "Games for windows". No drop-down list, no information other than a market place when I opened "Games for Windows - Live. No ability to view videos downloaded from the software, just to go to my documents to view the downloaded content. Installed games appear in the GAMES folder and they open and can be played.
In particular, the game I'm playing is called "Monster Madness - battle of Suburbia". I'd love to play and get achievements for my account xbox live and others, I love the ability to have that extends from PC to the Xbox, the other game I have is bioshock.
All advice, instructions or ideas will be appreciated.
