Unable to initialize live for windows components shadowrun

Unable to initialize Live for Windows components

My laptop is Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) with PlayOnLinux 4.0.14. I have an I7 processor, 8gm ram ddr3, 500gb hard drive, and a geforce gtx 560m graphics card. 

My attempts at this

1.clicked Install a non-listed game

2.clicked Install a program in a new virtual drive

3.Named my application virtual drive «ShadowrunVirtualDrive»

4.Clicked on 2 of the 3 options for pre-install actions. one being «Use another version of wine», and another being «configure wine».

5.I picked 1.5.6 wine because i assumed it would be the easiest to work with.

6.I configured wine to be windows version XP. I also made sure my path was 

«z/home/sean» for my drive. —-This game was made for vista/XP—

7.Used my CD-ROM install cd of shadowrun

8.Clicked install on shadowrun’s installer, and i have an error saying that nothing was there to be ran. 

That is where i’m at in my quest to play Shadowrun. If anyone can spot a mistake I’ve made please point it out. Also if there is a way to catch or log  the problems while doing it please post the way how.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

• Cannot install Games for Windows Live

  I need to install Games for Windows Live to play several games on this laptop.

  When I run gfwlivesetup, all downloads very well and gets to the point where it installs GFWL and I get the following error every time:

  «An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘ Microsoft.VC90.CRT, version =»9.0.21022.8″, publicKeyToken =»1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b»processorArchitecture =»x 86», type =»win32 «‘. See Help and Support for more information. »

  Looking through several log files, I discovered the error to be (0x8007078f) code that relates to, «connection failed: the machine you log on is protected by an authentication firewall.» The specified account is not allowed to authenticate on the machine. »

  So two things come to mind. The account is authenticated and firewall. Well, my account is an administrator account and right click on gfwlivesetup and choose «run as Administrator» does not change a thing. Well, screw the router, I just take the right out of my router modem jack and plug rather the ethernet of my laptop, without going through all the ports that can be blocked. The only firewall that is up and running (the only one installed) is the MS OS firewall, so let’s just turn this baby off and still the same error.

  So if we ignore all the error code (0x8007078f) completely, then we can treat the error originally presented… I see basically: processorArchitecture = «x 86», type = «win32».

  Well, I’m running a Windows 7 64 — Bit, and my processor is a Core i7-740… I am out of the resources here. I have seen many people having the same problem or similar (Google reveals a lot). So if someone is willing to stick with me throughout this, I intend to see resolved (at least for me). I only pray that as I did not reinstall Win 7 or make repairs. They do not understand all of these DVDs with the laptop.

  Thanks in advance,

  I can’t upgrade to the new version of GFWL because that will not uninstall, it keeps asking me for a CD.

  It started a month ago.   Whenever I try to send an email using windows live mail, I get a failure;

  Anyone have an idea where to start.

  Start with this Port number.   Port 80 is usually reserved for HTTP.    Try the 25.

  Unless your host secureserver.net says something, otherwise…

  Oh.  They do it?  But no information for WLMail, so you have to adapt…

  In particular, I think, note this:

  NOTE: «smtpout.secureserver.net» is a relay SMTP server. To use this server to send e-mail messages, you must enable SMTP relay on your e-mail account. Connect to your management page email accounts to set up SMTP relay. If you have not set up SMTP relay and allows it to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you can use the server of mail from your Internet Service provider. Contact your Internet service provider for this setting.

  BTW if you use WLMail.exe you can also try to get help from the WLSC through its Mail Portal

• I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live!

  I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live! About 2 months ago, I formatted my computer and reloaded windows 7! Last night I downloaded Microsoft Flight and used my existing account to play! Today, I installed Fable III and the game won’t start as it says that I am not connected to the internet! This is wrong since I write here for you! Why my game will not, organize that I have connected to my account last night with problem now? Please help me?

  Yes, unfortunately GFWL’s an imperfect system. Steam has similar problems. I find the best way to avoid
  problems is to play all the games that are related to a system off line.
  I have absolutely no interest in what GFWL can offer online, in any case.
  Many games have a «fix» for GFWL, which are generally easy to find through a search.
  Of course these only help facilitate offside line.

  Try Timeslips Fable 3 GFWL remover — it is well known in the modding community, particularly
  its managers mod for Bethesda games and his job is safe to use.

• Games for Windows Live does not open

  Hello. I had the Client Games for Windows LIVE and the market installed on my PC for some time now (several years). I played many games, such as Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Batman: Arkham City, etc., which require this piece of shit software. However, recently, I’ve been making mistakes where I can’t run Arkham City in what appears to be an error related to the GFWL client. Of course, when I tried to open market Games for Windows LIVE, I see the splash screen, but after a few seconds it disappears and the program does not start. I tried to reinstall both on the market and the client, each instance of the .NET Framework and Bing Bar, but also reset Internet Explorer and run CCleaner registry cleaning, all to nothing is helping. I paid for all of these games and I’m not going to sit idly by because of a strange problem with a piece — of-* DRM software. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  I thought it would be more simple, but apparently, these errors can be caused by multiple scenarios

  • (You have probably tried this) Download xbox.comGFWL client, some people say that the steam of an offer is broken
  • Install Windows Live ID Sign-Assistant (I’m very positive with this one)
  • Check services.msc to Windows Live ID Sign-Wizard it should be in the manual
  • DirectX updates could fix it (I’ve seen reports of which fixed for some people)
  • Update your graphics card driver from the manufacturer’s website  (also this resolved for some)
  • run sfc/scannow to elevated command prompt (last call)

  Also, you can check your crash logs in %localappdata%MicrosoftGFWLive I think to see if they show you something different from the error you get
