Ok so I played 0.95 on a non legit copy, but once it required a legit copy I recently purchased it on steam. I have tried both auto installs and the manual install and it can never locate my game folder, when I do it in advanced mode it says it's good, but once I click to open the log the tool crashes, I've tried moving the game folder around to different places, the only thing I haven't done is reinstall the game itself, although I have no idea why it would change anything since its a new copy (Although it uses my save from my non legit copy with xliveless which I used on it as well)

Try to use the manual installer instead.

What I would do is make a Grand Theft Auto IV folder in your Rockstar Games folder in Program Filesx86 and then try installing it

That wouldn't help as it wouldn't be installed to the game, unless the game is in fact there. In that case, you don't need to create the folder.

 

Please use the manual installer.

Well if you run the LaunchGTAIV from the program filesx86 yes. 

I said in the first post that the manual installer did not work.

 

I will see if moving it to a Rockstar Games folder will work (I know where it goes I have SA)

How can the manual installer not work? Have you read the manual for the manual installation?

My bad, before I was just copy+pasting. when I extract I get a command window saying [file location] access denied

The manual installer always works, the only reason it won't work is because the person installing it has screwed up somewhere. use the manual installer and follow this guide very carefully - '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Please make sure you are administrator on your computer and that UAC is turned off. I would link how to do that, but I am unable at the moment.

I did that, it requested I had to restart my computer so I did, I can now extract to the root folder but diagnostics tool still crashes when I try to open the log file, and it still cannot locate the install

 

And according to my LCPDFR.log nothing initializes, everything it tries to do it says failed

Sorry but you can't hijack someone else's thread. What may not work for you, may work for him.

 

 

I did that, it requested I had to restart my computer so I did, I can now extract to the root folder but diagnostics tool still crashes when I try to open the log file, and it still cannot locate the install

 

And according to my LCPDFR.log nothing initializes, everything it tries to do it says failed

 

After opening the diagnostic tool, you have to check the box, at the bootom that says Advanced mode. Then you'll be able to search for install.

Yes I do that and it says it's setup correctly, when I click "open log file" the diagnostic tool crashes and it does not locate the install. this is the initial problem I have been having

 

Also, not sure if it's relevant or not, I also have EFLC but I'm installing LCPDFR into the gta IV folder

 

From the lcpdfr.log:

[WARNING - 6:08:36 PM] [settings] ReadSettings: Invalid entry

[ERROR - 7:58:16 PM] [Authentication] Authentication: Error 0x320

possibly the problem?

Still nothing has worked, can someone please shed light on this? look at my above post for possible known problems and solutions

What exactly is your problem? From your original log files, the game seems to be working fine.

 

If the only problem is that the diagnostic tool crashes when you try to open the log file after checking your installation, then there isn't a problem. Mine crashes too.

It cannot find a valid installation, looking at the log files it says that stuff failed to initialize all related to lcpdfr. I have the steam version so I assume it is up to date, but the rgsc login window always comes up when I launch the game

Ok so it seems that you might have been right, after updating nothing was different but I hadn't completed the first mission. it now works.

 

For people looking at this for a solution to their game, completing the first mission is required, but I don't believe that was my problem, the previous guy's post I believe was the solution and there was no problem at all, lol,
