You need to uninstall Windows Live Essentials first and then process with the update.
Games For Windows Live Update Problem (Error: 80070643)
Hi,
Just installing this month's updates, and I'm having a problem installing one of them. Games For Windows Software 3.5 doesn't seem to want to update and is giving the error code 80070643. Had a quick search round and can't seem to find anything useful. Not sure what's causing this. Anybody else having this issue?

2012-03-13T21:25:26+00:00 I did what Kim said. I get the following in the MSI. But it keeps asking me to install the update.
Newer version already installed.

2012-03-13T21:24:37+00:00 I know this isn't a fix for those who use it, but if you don't you can uninstall Games for Windows Marketplace and Games for Windows LIVE Runtime and this update won't be offered anymore.
