    Have you tried installing the dependency directly with PowerShell?

    1. Open a PowerShell command prompt.
    2. Run the command Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.Media.PlayReadyClient.2.appx.
    3. Restart and try installing Asphalt again.

    When you execute that PowerShell command, it will automatically download and install the file if necessary.

    Hello Arsha, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I am here to help and provide assistance with any questions or concerns you may have.

    I find that this problem is directly related with the installer of Asphalt 8, I would suggest try reinstalling the game but in this case right click it and install it with administrator rights.
