That update was released in April - Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Games for Windows Software Setup 3.5
so have you been having other problems?
Looks like Windows is up ti its old usual tricks. I have a fresh install only two weeks old.
Seems that v3.5 installed on 25th October. Today it installed again....twice & it's still not happy. It wants to load it again. Think I just go & hide the update & try to remember it is installed enough already.
Windows Live updated earlier this morning. That might have something to do with it.
Seems to have settled down now. In one day I ended up with two 'Games for Windows Software V3.5' & three 'Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE Redistributable'.
Windows. All fun & games.
I would UNINSTALL any windows live games or windows games delievered through windows update unless you use either of those. I don't use windows live games so i would hide both
so how do guys solve this problem, since i got this problem too and dunno what to do?
but mine is abit different from u, after i installed the update tru windows update, it keep asking to install the update, but when i insalled it, the updated one not appear at history for installed updates, but for u i see two times but not for me, i hope u guys understand what im saying. lol
What I did to stop it appearing was to 'hide' the update. After a couple of reboots it stop wanting to load.
I have the same problem. I have 3 of these identical updates listed as installed and Windows Automated Updates is still indicating I need to install it again. The game Age of Empires Online is the reason I need this. The game works fine.
Damn thing is back although I did reformat a few weeks ago.
This time the update fails & then it wants to try again. I've hidden it again so hopefully that is the end of it.
What media do you use for your reinstalls?
There must be something triggering WU in the first place, and it may be something in your Recovery media (if you use that) or that you're installing later - I've never noticed the update myself, although I haven't looked for it either.
