Re: Installing DirectPlay error 0x80070490
Add Missing Package
1. Click the Start button and type cmd.exe in the search box.
2. Right-click on the cmd that comes up and select Run as administrator.
3. Once you are at the command prompt, copy/paste the following line and hit enter.
pnputil -a C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_prnms003.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17415_none_e7bbd801ef400762\prnms003.inf
Let me know if it says successfully installed. If it does, try installing DirectPlay.
btw, does your Windows Update work?
