For the passed few days I have been trying to get into my Netflix app, however the app refused to load. So I decided to uninstall it and then reinstall to try and fix the problem. But every time I try to reinstall the app I receive the error code 0x80070057. Any idea how to fix this? I am currently using Windows 8.1 and waiting for my Windows 10 update.

    Thanks for sharing this Hirot. Tried it on my Virtual Machine which also seemed to have this problem and it did work. 

    I hope you don't mind but I've added this solutioninto an article about this problem. Of course credited you.

    Netflix requires the two DLLs, "VCLibs120" and "PlayReadyClient2". These DLLs are installed automatically by the store.

    But according to the event log, the store seems to think Netflix requires "VCLibs110" and "PlayReadyClient".

    So I have tried to install Flixster to install "VCLibs110" and "PlayReadyClient". These DLLs are also installed automatically by the store.
