i got the same drama, 3.5 update for Games for Windows LIVEinstalls then about an hour later wants to install again

been playing GTAIV & after about an hour the game ctd & everytime this update is trying to install, ive installed it 5 times now & reset PC everytime, its driving me nuts, see this is why NO game should require a 3rd party program in order to operate, its hard enough getting a game to run by itself half the time... stupid microsoft cant do anything right

Just wait until it's integrated into your operating system. Won't that be fun?

I just called GFWL and gave them the link to this post. They guy thanked me and said they now are aware of the issue and will be researching it.

you managed to install it, I needed to reset my router before it even allowed me to install, although I installed it through the client itself. I havent had any issues with it besides the normal cant log in, cause I live in in a country that is not "supported by GFWL", even though if I restat the game a couple of times I can log in.

Same thing happened to me, took me 3 hours to install the damn patch after so many failed tries. Currently playing Resident Evil 5 although GWL hasnt prompted me for the same update.

Well unless it starts prompting me again, I'm just gonna ignore this current update.

Yeah same here... Everytime I shut down my PC, it installs the update again. Annoying!

Most people who don't care for GFWL on GTA4 just use the user created patch to 'fix' it.

Same issue here. I just ignore the Windows Update icon in the task tray for now until a real fix comes along.

I did try a "fix" that was suggested - uninstalling GFWL and then letting Windows Update install it again. The Update reminder went away, but then my GFWL games wouldn't load. Lame.

Anyone know if this has been fixed yet? It's still sitting in my Windows Update. Scared to update. :(
