Error Number: 0x80040702, failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper

I tried the suggested solution provided by microsoft, but it doesnt work.

Error message when you try to install a Microsoft Games for Windows game: "Failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper"

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;968365&sd=rss&spid=7027

I suspect if it is due to incomplete uninstall of the FSX. It is because i hoped to reinstall my FSX due to its error, yet I simply delete the file under FSX folder.

When i tried to install again it pop up the error message about gameuxinstallhelper.dll

I am running Windows 10, so MS fix does not work for me

Please HELP!

 

Error Number: 0x80040702, failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper

I forgot a step. This is what I did.

The last time I tried to install FSX, and getting the dreaded

"Unhandled Exception

Error Number:0x80040702

Description: Failed to load DLL: GameuxinstallHelper

Setup will now terminate.",

Out of frustration, I looked into Disc #2 and found the 'MSXML.MSI'. I clicked it and it ran the 'MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and Setup Wizard" (whatever that is)

Then, I looked in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X" and found the "GameuxinstallHelper.dll"

I had then copied, CTRL+INSERT, the DLL.

Then went to the "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" and pasted that DLL to that location of which it was missing.

I then ran the installer once again and this time FSX loaded completely, without any issues so far.

I don't know what exactly was changed or why but, it seems to have fixed this issue.

Thanks to all that have helped.

 

Error Number: 0x80040702, failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper

I have the same problem while trying to install MS Flight Simulator Gold Edition on Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).

The first time I was installing FSX I think there were some Windows updates going on since the computer suddenly restarted during the installation (without a prior notification!). After the reboot I tried installing again and got:

Unhandled Exception

Error Number: 0x80040702

Description: Failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper

Setup will now terminate.

I have tried installing the game several times and it is always the same.

I have tried deleting registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games, but it does not exist
in the registry.

I have looked for gameuxinstallhelper.dll at Windows\System32 and at Windows\SysWOW64, but it
does not exist.

I have also run sfc/scannow
that reported: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations, rebooted and tried installing again (without success due to the same error).

I have even tried renaming C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information and installing FSX as suggested by: http://chrisglobe.co.uk/gameuxinstallerhelper-dll-error-when-re-installing-fsx/, which
also did not help.

Are there any other options I can try?
