Games Explorer and gameux.dll

Since Windows Vista the Game Explorer has been added to Windows. The Game Explorer summarizes all (Games Explorer compatible) games installed on the computer together with some information. Many games that you install in Windows Server 2008 R2 need the file gameux.dll to be present in the system32 directory, otherwise you will get error messages about a missing gameux.dll file. At this page we will download and install gameux.dll and the Games Explorer so most of the games can be played! The files are extracted from the clean Windows 7 x64 RTM dvd.
