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.

    Unfortunately it does not work for me as I have a 32bit Windows 8.1 version.

    This may be a red herring but I recently had the same error code from store apps but with different apps.

    I was having the code for OneNote and Reader, but in my case I could install Netflix, which I was using as a test.

    So this may not help you, but what cured it for me was installing an optional update which I normally probably wouldn't have installed. See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_store/w81-store-updateinstall-problems/4a95cc51-347b-4020-9e3a-335704d326b6  ( my 2nd post, not the question ).

    As I say, it may not be the same problem, but it wont take long to check.

    Thanks for this. I gave it a try but it appears I've already got it installed. Glad it's working for you, though.

    kovboi, it's a file DIRECTLY from the Windows store. I also pasted the link to the VirusTotal scan result which includes Esets result showing that the file is 100% safe. Eset is flagging the url only because people have reported the site after they got a bad file from there - which doesn't mean my file or the site itself is bad. Eset is being overly protective & causing a false alarm. Once you have the file you can then scan it with Eset and it will be safe, guaranteed. After you find out it's safe, I would appreciate you reporting it as such so no one else get's concerned. If it makes Eset feel "safer" here's the same exact file but I've uploaded it to two more places. Take your pick.

    Edit: The above files are for x64/64bit versions of Windows ONLY. An x86/32bit version will be posted later.
