Вряд-ли у кого-то возникают проблемы с системой Games for Windows Live, однако, возможно и остались те, кто не может запустить игры по типу GTA IV, Section 8: Prejudice . Я был один из тех, кто был в такой ситуации и поверьте, всё ГОРАААЗДО проще, чем кажется! (Да, этот гайд может быть бесполезным, но эй, может и нет, откуда нам знать?)
Невозможно установить Games For Windows Marketplace
Начнем с простого! Вы устанавливаете спокойно себе GfWLive(Отныне будем его сокращать), как вдруг выскакивает ТАКАЯ ОШИБКА
И казалось бы всё, жизнь окончена… Но что бы её возобновить следуйте инструкции:
- Нажмите «Папка журнала»
- Дальше идём туда
3. Далее идём в данную папку
4. Жмём на этот установщик(Если будет 2 файла, то установите оба! У меня просто осталось как анинсталлер) и устанавливаем
И ВУАЛЯ! МАРКЕТПЛЭЙС УСТАНОВЛЕН!!
(Если будут проблемы — сообщите!)
Xlive.dll проблема и как решать?
Ошибка возникает в том случае, если вы такой же как и я, удалили Marketplace, но даже с успехом его установки есть вероятность появления ошибки
Ой, да тут ещё проще!
Сначала скачайте данный файл
И теперь погнали решать:
Спойлер
НЕ ПЕРЕМЕЩАЙТЕ ФАЙЛ В ПАПКУ ИГРЫ! ЭТО НЕ ВЫХОД!
- Перенесите этот файл в папку System32(Если он там уже есть, то существующий не удаляйте, а перенесите в другую папку, это ваш резерв)
- Попытайтесь запустить то, что вам нужно, если ошибки не будет, то это значит, что получилось, если будет, то попробуйте перезапустить пк!

Symptoms
Assume that you try to install one of the following:
-
A Microsoft Games for Windows title
-
Microsoft Streets &Trips
-
Microsoft MapPoint
In this case, one of the following problems may occur:
-
The Setup program crashes.
-
You receive a Windows Installer error message that includes one of the following error codes:
-
1305
-
1603
-
1335
-
1935
-
1308
-
2263
-
-
You receive an error message that resembles one of the following:
Error message 1
<game name> Setup encountered an error while reading this file
Error message 2
Setup was unable to find or could not read the language specific setup resource .dll
Error message 3
Wrong volume is in the drive
Error message 4
Setup.exe is not a valid win32 application
Error message 5
Please insert the disc 2 in the drive
Error message 6
Setup failed to extract files from <drive>:\<filename>.cab. This is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted cabinet file. Please restart your machine and run setup again.
To resolve these problems, follow the methods that are provided in this article. You may find it easier to follow the steps if you print this article first.
Method 1: Clean the disc
Clean the CD or DVD. To do this, use a disc-cleaning kit. Or, gently wipe the silver side of the disc by using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use paper cloth that can scratch the plastic and can leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem continues to occur, clean the disc by using a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly before you insert the disc in the drive.
If the problem continues to occur, go to «Method 2: Run the Xcopy command.»
Method 2: Run the Xcopy command
You can run the Xcopy command to determine whether the disc or the disc drive is bad. To run the Xcopy command, follow these steps:
-
Insert the game discs in the CD drive. If the game setup starts, exit the setup.
-
Click Start, point to Run, and then type the appropriate command for the version of Windows that you are using:
-
For Windows 7, for Windows Vista, for Windows XP, and for Windows 2000, type cmd.
-
For Windows 98, type Command.
The Command Prompt window appears.
-
-
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter to access the root of the hard disk (typically, drive C):
cd\
-
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter:
Xcopy CD drive letter:\*.* /s c:\text.txt
You receive the following message:Does C:\text.txt specify a file name or directory name on the target? (F=file, D=Directory).
Press F for file. Click A to select All. Depending on the speed of the computer’s CD or DVD drive, the steps to run the Xcopy command may take several minutes to finish. If there are any files that cannot be read from the CD, the CD may be dirty or damaged, or the game CD may be corrupted. If an error message was generated when you ran the Xcopy command on the game disc, and if cleaning the disk or trying a different drive (see Method 3 in this article) does not resolve the problem, go to Method 11: Obtain a replacement disc.»
If the problem continues to occur, go to «Method 3: Install and then start the program by using a different CD or DVD drive.»
Method 3: Install and then start the program by using a different CD or DVD drive
The CD drive may be unable to read the product CD. Try to install the program by using a different CD or DVD drive on the same computer or on a different computer. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Insert the CD into the CD or DVD drive of another computer or into a second CD or DVD drive on the original computer. The Setup program should start.
-
Follow the instructions to install the program.
If the installation is successful, and if you can start the game in this test, the problem may be that the original CD drive or DVD drive cannot read the game CD. If the setup fails on another computer, the original CD or DVD may be damaged. In this case, you will have to obtain a replacement disc. Go to Method 11: Obtain a replacement disc.»
If the problem continues to occur, go to «Method 4: Restart the computer by using a clean startup procedure.»
Method 4: Restart the computer by using a clean startup procedure
When you start Microsoft Windows, other software may start automatically together with the operating system. These programs and services can include antivirus software and system utilities that may interfere with the game. When you perform a clean restart, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.
You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
For more information about how to perform a clean startup procedure, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
331796 Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program
If the problem continues to occur, go to «Method 5: Delete the contents of the temporary folder in Windows.»
Method 5: Delete the contents of the temporary folder in Windows
To delete the contents of the temporary folder in Windows, follow these steps:
-
Click Start , type %temp% in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.

-
Click Yes.
If the issue continues to occur, go to «Method 6: Try to install the game in a different folder or on a different drive.»
Method 6: Try to install the game in a different folder or on a different drive
If the game crashes, or if you receive an error message during setup, try to install the game in a different folder. If the computer has another hard disk, try to install the game on the other hard disk.
Note The following steps may be different for each product that is listed in the «Applies To» section.
-
Insert the game disc in the drive.
Note Do not click Express Install during setup.
-
Follow the setup menus until you see the Change button.
-
Click Change.
-

drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\game name
In this example, drive represents the drive letter of the hard disk and game name represents the name of the game that you are trying to install. -
Click OK when you are finished with the setup.
-
Follow the directions that appear on the screen to install the game.
If the problem continues to occur, go to «Method 7: Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer.»
Method 7: Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer
Note Follow these steps for Windows Vista and for Windows XP only.

When you try to install a Microsoft Game, you receive an error message from InstallShield with Error Codes 1607 or 1628 on Windows 11/10. This could probably be because your InstallShield application has become corrupted or damaged.

If you face this issue, try the following suggestions:
