Apparently not, but the update has disappeared from the queue. I guess it's being attended to and we will see it back in due course.

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?

2012-03-14T05:48:11+00:00 They have removed the update now. If you still see it delete your SoftwareDistribution folder in the windows folder, you may need to restart to be able to delete it or you can turn off the windows update service for a while in the services panel.
