Are you running the .exe file or the .msi file?

[ChartayOz 1]

Are you running the .exe file or the .msi file?

Thx for the reply I tired running both one said installtion failed stright away and the other gave that first error message from above

[Harper 1,375]

Run the .exe file as an administrator. Don't use the .msi one.

[ChartayOz 1]

Run the .exe file as an administrator. Don't use the .msi one.

Tired that and stright away error Failed installing title update. See log at C:UserNAMESURNAMEAppDataLocalMicrosoftGFWLiveInstallLogs itleu pdate.log for details"

Have you tried looking at that file? Theres a high chance it'll tell you whats going wrong.

[ChartayOz 1]

I've posted above both errors files that its talking about:)

Edit: But I have no understanding of what all that mombo jambo means:(. I might have to end up re-installing the whole game again...

Edited March 28, 2012 by Chartay Johnson

[ChartayOz 1]

Ok, I tired re-installing it but still getting those update errors:( anyone please help

[Harper 1,375]

Just out of curiosity, did you purchase the game or download a torrent / crack?

[ChartayOz 1]

No lol why would I do that. Its a full version of the game. Only today this problem has come up

[Harper 1,375]

Are you installing the patch relevant to your game region? like (English) etc. ?

[JAM 852]

No lol why would I do that. Its a full version of the game. Only today this problem has come up

That doesn't really answer the question, did you purchase and then download this game? Or download it over a torrent site and use a crack?

[ChartayOz 1]

I buyed the game from GAME.co.uk a legit company

via CDs

Edit: Also tired updating via press Home button when game lunches and trying up and still I get "Failed installing title update. See log at C:UserNAMESURNAMEAppDataLocalMicrosoftGFWLiveInstallLogs itleu pdate.log for details" Which correponds to the 2 error other error messages i've pasted above

I think its an actual problem with the update itself nothing to do with my game since i've eliminated the veriables. cleared registery, reinstalled cleared left over files and cleared bin. deleted old update and downloaded new one. tired update via pressing home buttin in-game.

QUOTE (looser2010 @ Tuesday, Sep 13 2011, 21:02) Hello, i had the same problem but nog with gta but with f1 2010.

it took me about a week to figure it out but now it works like a charm.

the solution is this.

When u start the game the update wil be installed in a directorie like

C:UsersyournameAppDataLocalMicrosoftXLiveUpdates434d0831

step 1 quit the game.

step 2 make a directorie on C: like gtaupdate or so.

step 3 open a command prompt (preferable administrator) and go the

c:UsersHermanAppDataLocalMicrosoftXLiveUpdates434d0831

what u have to do next is to extract the files from the msi like this

msiexec /a nameofupdate.msi c:gtaupdate(step2)

There wil be a popup while update run the files will be extracted to te directory of c:gtaupdate

now al u have to do is copy these files over the original game files problaby stored in c:program files.

To recap it in a simplified version.

1. Put the GTA IV Update MSI file in a folder. For example " C:GTAMSI " and then Create a new folder named for example " C:GTAUPDATE "

2. Open up the CMD by doing " WINKEY+R " and typing " CMD " , in the Commandline window type " cd C:GTAMSI "

and then type :

" msiexec /a nameofupdate.msi C:GTAUPDATE "

3. Then copy all the files from " C:GTAUPDATE " folder into the GTAIV Folder most likely located at " c:program files ...somewhere " overwriting the gamefiles with the new updated ones.

Hi thanks for the reply tired CMD all I'm getting is "the system cannot find the path speicified" c:UsersMY NAME>GTAMSImsiexec a TitleUpdate.msi C:GTAUPDATE

Other one I get " C:GTAMSI is not a recongised as an internal and external command, operable program or batch file

c:UsersMY NAME>Program Files>GTAMSI

I'm really rubbish with these sorts of things and its really confusing sorry:( I made the 2 files you said above and put the update files into GTA MSI.

now im getting " the file name or directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

c:UsersMY NAME>GTAMSI msiexec/TitleUpdate.msi C:GTAUpdate

i could give you remote acsess with ShowMyPC if you can help wid that dont mind

Hope you can get back to me soon:(

You need to type "cd C:GTAMSI". cd = change directory.

[ChartayOz 1]

You need to type "cd C:GTAMSI". cd = change directory.

Because as you can see i tired many veriaous and nothing worked:(

c:UsersMYNAME>cd C:GTAMSImsiexecTitleUpdate.msi C:GTAUpdate
