"I solved this issue by removing the Games for Windows Live applications (I removed both ""Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE"" and ""Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE Redistributable"") from my computer, then downloading the installation program from the website and re-installing GFWL.

You can download the program here (scroll down to the big yellow button).

If you have an old version and the update is just failing it might be worth downloading the latest version and doing a manual install.
