[Sam 10,741]

NOTE: THIS IS A CONDENSED, SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDE.  LCPDFR 1.0 COMES WITH A PDF GUIDE DETAILING HOW TO MANUALLY INSTALL IT.  THIS GUIDE ALSO EXPLAINS HOW TO CONFIGURE LCPDFR 1.0 AFTER INSTALLING IT.  IT CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://dl-03.x4b.lcpdfr.com/downloads/cache/4607/LCPDFR%20Manual%20Install%20Guide.pdf?st=kjmAyetrGdq2djSNKUfNTA&e=1388432600&p=2116&g17securedownload

 

LCPDFR 1.0 comes in two forms: as an automatic installer, or as a manual installation package.  If you're having trouble installing LCPDFR 1.0 with the installer, or if LCPDFR 1.0 doesn't work after using the installer, we recommend that you re-install using the manual installation package instead.  This is actually really quick and easy to do.

 

Install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 and Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 ( x86) and 2012 (x86) and DirectX runtimes

 

If you do not already have these installed, or aren't sure, you should download them and install them from:

LCPDFR 1.0 requires all of these to be installed before it can be installed.

 

 

Downloading the LCPDFR 1.0 Manual Install Package

 

You can download the manual install package here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/download/4607-lcpd-first-response/

 

Simply select 'LCPDFR 1.0 Manual Install.zip' from the list of files that is presented to you by clicking its download button after accepting the disclaimer:

 

 

Extracting the LCPDFR 1.0 Manual Install Package

 

Once the file has been downloaded, you'll need to extract it as it is a compressed (.zip) folder.  To do this, simply right click on the file and select 'Extract all' if using Windows Compressed Folders utility, or by selecting 'Extract files...' if using WinRAR.

 

Once the files have been extracted, you'll have a new folder called LCPDFR 1.0 Manual Install.  Open this, and you'll see a list of files like so:

 

 

Installing LCPDFR 1.0 with the LCPDFR 1.0 Manual Install Package

 

To install LCPDFR 1.0, all you need to do now is select all of these files (CTRL + A), and copy them by pressing CTRL + C.

 

Now, navigate to your root GTA IV directory, where GTAIV.exe or EFLC.exe is, and paste the files into it, being sure to replace any files it asks you to, like so:

(note that the only files that will be replaced are LCPDFR files)

 

 

 

Once this is complete, your GTA IV directory should now look like:

 

 

 

Selecting an ASI Loader:

 

You'll notice that there is a folder called 'LCPDFR Install (ASI Loaders).  This contains two files (xlive.dll and dsound.dll) which are ASI loaders.  They load ScriptHookDotNet.asi into the game, allowing it to load LCPDFR.  You need to select one of these ASI loaders (xlive.dll also disables Games for Windows Live, useful if you don't play multiplayer and don't want annoyed by it, otherwise select dsound.dll) and place it into your root GTA IV directory.

 

Once done, your GTA IV directory will now have all of the LCPDFR files and folders, as well was either xlive.dll OR dsound.dll.  DO NOT USE BOTH.

 

You can now delete the 'LCPDFR Install (ASI Loaders)' folder, and LCPDFR 1.0 is now installed.
