Error attempting to download GamePass game on PC - 0x87e00017

KierenG(2) · Mar 5, 2022

Hi,

I am trying to download Total War: Warhammer III for PC through the Xbox App. I haven't bought the game and am using Game Pass.

The game downloads to 100% however doesn't install and just sits in an error state after downloading all the files.

It shows the error code 0x87e00017 however, in all their wisdom, Microsoft haven't published (that I can find) any help for this code.

I have tried cancelling the install and redownloading - no success (and time consuming seeing as its a 113GB game...)

I have tried restarting my PC, several times.

This error has persisted for days with no signs of fixing itself.

I have enough space on my drive for the install, especially since all the files seem to be there, however the game doesn't show up in my apps due to no completed install.

I have other Gamepass games installed and they work, I managed to download C&C Remastered since having this issue so doesn't seem to be a blanket error.

I had this issue months ago when AoE 4 came out but I cant remember how I got that working (helpful I know)

Any help would be great!

:)

Follow these steps:

Select the Start button in the lower left corner of the main screen and select Settings.

Select Update and Security > Check for Updates.

Select View optional updates, then select update KB5004476 from the list.

KB5004476

Select Download and Install.

When the update is complete, restart the device.

You should now be able to install, update and launch games.

Are you still in trouble?

Create a notepad file with the following name:

"RepairGamingServices.ps1"

inside the file paste this text (if quotes):

"

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse

"

Then, to run, right-click on the file, and run as administrator. then restart windows. then you need to open the Xbox app from Windows 10 that will be warning you that you need to install an extra component for the app, accept and wait for the installation. After that, Microsoft guarantees that you will be able to reopen and download Xbox Game Pass games on Windows 10 or 11.
