Hi!

Lcpdfr doesn't start and the error "lcpdfr error in script loader.loader is displayed. 

I have checked "the internet" for solutions and i found one... or at least I thought so. 

i found two threads in this forum where the issue was somehow solved. So I tried doing the same. But it doesn't work. 

Additionally, I tried a full reinstall of the game. But it still doesn't work. Hence it must be a problem with my computer.

According to these (1: http://www.lcpdfr.com/topic/25644-lcpdfr_loaderloader-error/ ; 2: http://www.lcpdfr.com/topic/32044-error-in-script-lcpdfr-loaderloader/) threads, I had to install microsoft .net framework 4.5 and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4. I installed the redistibutable package but the microsoft .net 4.5 framework won't install due to 2 errors. First: Microsoft .net framework is already part of the system and second: The same or a higher version of microsoft .net framework is already installed. I tried to remove the microsoft .net framework fully with the cleaner but it still doesn't work. 

On a Microsoft support page I found out, that I don't need to install microsoft .net framework on windows 8.1 and that the errors displayed in the installer do NOT require any reaction. Thereafter I tried disabling and enabling the microsoft .net framework through control panel but lcpdfr still doesn't work. I tried disabling microsoft .net framework and then running the cleaner and then installing microsoft .net 4.5 framework but the installation and lcpdfr still don't work. I tried it with enabled microsoft framework in the feature settings of windows too, but no success either. 

The issue first appeared after I followed this (http://steamcommunity.com/app/12210/discussions/0/648814844744080613/#c558746089716449779) guide to improve the stability of GTA 4. 

Furthermore, my log files match with the log files uploaded in the other threads about this issue.
