I'm new to lcpdfr. I just got bootcamp for my mac and am running windows 7. I just bought GTA 4 on steam and downloaded lcpdfr after. I followed the instructions trying to download it manually and when this did not seem to work, I uninstalled it and tried using the automatic installation. After doing this, I went onto the game and none of the police stations were on the map and "alt p" did not work either. Like I said, I am new to this and was wondering what I am doing wrong. Thanks

I think I figured out the problem. The folder is on "read-only." I go to properties and click to turn it off. It says it applies the changes then when I check again, it is back on "read-only." Do you know how to fix this?

It's a known Windows bug and it will never apply properly. Please respond to all the things in the list. 

I just bought the game off of steam so I am guessing that it is the latest version. I am not sure if it is running as admin or not. I have all the folders and files but they are running in "read only." So i am guessing that the problem is with that bug. If it will never apply properly, can I never play lcpdfr?

I personally run just fine without messing with it, however I remember one time, I set my entire drive to it and it worked.

So there is no way of me running this game with this bug?

My entire drive is set to Read Only, make sure your running it as admin.

how do I do that? Sorry again, I am new at all of this. I literally just got this game for steam so I could play lcpdfr.

So i found out that the RAGEPluginHook.exe is not installing. Do you know why this is not installing?

RAGEPluginHook is only for LSPDFR, the mod for GTA V. It has nothing to do with LCPDFR, the mod for GTA IV.
