Hello folks,

you have to be careful what GFWL client version you use.
Different GFWL versions require different .NET Framework prerequisites hence
many problems are just due to incorrect prerequisites.
Also don't change the default WinVer of the prefix otherwise you get 'Windows
Vista/7+' related .NET bugs.

I tested an older GFWL 3.x client with .Net Framework 3.5 installation and
known .NET workarounds for WPF (bug 34764) in 32-bit WINEPREFIX and it works as
designed.

The client starts and shows a dialog window, stating 'Connection error - ...
problem with LIVE-Service'.
This is expected as old GFWL has been abandoned and replaced by 'Games for
Windows Marketplace' which requires a new client.

I'm currently testing a fix for many GFWL games in general, dropping the need
for XLiveless and other custom hacks/recipes.

$ sha1sum gfwlivesetupmin.exe

$ du -sh gfwlivesetupmin.exe 
28M    gfwlivesetupmin.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.19-71-g4e9f19f
