Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant Solved

Question

Hello,

I am running Windows XP SP3. I installed Games For Windows Live, and when I launch it, it asks me to install an update (Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant). I install it, and it shows me:

I haven't found any solutions, so please refrain from spamming the topic with "go look it up on Google" for no reason.
Thank you.

Hello,
I also had a problem launching "Games for Windows":
It kept asking me to reinstall the Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant, which I tried to do countless times.
Anyway, it didn't work, so I found a rather simple solution:
Go to local drive > program files (x86) > Games for Windows - Live > client >
Then create a shortcut of "GFWLClient(.exe)" on your desktop.
No problem running the program from that file, at least for me.
I hope this helps :)

just a little bump so it doesn't change page. it's still bugging me, even after testing with the setups on Microsoft.

It wasn't related to Windows Live Messenger, but to Games For Windows Live, so it wasn't about messaging.

But I managed to solve this problem by installing an older version of GFWL, and then applying the update; it worked.

Just a little note to say you're not alone.
Same exact problem on Windows 7 x64.
Result is I can't play Bioshock or GTA4 or...
Hey, it's funny, try writing LIVE backwards to see what it gives.
YEEEES, that's it LIVE = EVIL!!!
I don't often shout like this so I'll keep it short and stop here.
Keep me posted if you find a solution please.

Hi, well I've got the same problem I'm on Windows 7 x64 too and I'm still getting that damn message that's preventing me from playing GTA 4 ^^

Up, I have exactly the same issue.

OS: Windows 7 x86

When I see this, I think... "Those idiots at Microsoft can develop software for THEIR OS but can't even get it to work... Worse, bugs happen (especially with Microsoft) and they can't even provide a minimum of help to let us install it anyway..."

Thanks bibill...

Hey, I found something!

There's a guy who wrote:
"What I ended up doing was turning on Automatic Updates in Services and then tried reinstalling the sign-in assistant and it worked."

So, you need to enable automatic updates again ................................

And I tested it and it's true, it works! (even though I hate the idea of updates)

Does it work for you?

See you!

Hi, I have almost the same problem as you, except that when the installation starts, the installer closes abruptly and nothing happens!  OS: Windows 8 x64

I found a technique that works: uninstall Game for Windows Marketplace and reinstall it using the "Run as administrator" option. And strangely, after that the application works.
