Plenty of older PC games refuse to start without Games for Windows LIVE, Microsoft's online service and software layer for PC games. The installers here get those games running.

Download Games for Windows LIVE 3.5.95.0

1. Right-click xliveredist.msi (3.5.95.0) and choose Run as administrator. That's the redistributable most games ask for.
2. Start the game that needed it.
3. If the game still asks for the Windows Live Sign-in Assistant, install wllogin_32.msi on 32-bit Windows or wllogin_64.msi on 64-bit.

gfwlclient.msi and gfwlivesetup.exe install the full Games for Windows LIVE client, for games that sign you in through it.

Tip: Microsoft closed the Games for Windows Marketplace in 2013, so this is mainly about getting a game to start. Some online features may not work. If you're after Age of Empires Online, there's a thread for that as well.
