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?

    Sorry Sparky, but I do have MS Live Games that I'm subscribed to on this computer — on my laptop which does not have MS Live Games installed, it doesn't try to install any updates that pertain to it. I suspect others in this thread also have MS games.

    Wtf are you on about? It certainly existed when I posted earlier today. You think I posted a resolution to an error that doesn't exist, what - for fun?

    It's not on the server for download anymore. It was removed from the update servers today.

    It was still trying to install it when I turned my laptop on today, but about an hour later, it wasn't offered anymore.
