GfWL Utility#

Work-in-progress utility for working with Games for Windows - LIVE.

This is incomplete. There will be bugs.

Requires .NET Framework 3.5:

On Windows 8 and newer, you will get a prompt to install this if you do not have this.
On Windows 7 when fully up-to-date, it should be included.
On Windows XP and Vista, you will need to install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually.
