The latest updated version of RAGE Plugin Hook, required to play LSPDFR, can be found inside the LSPDFR download. It is not currently available on the RAGE Plugin Hook website.

Error opening file for writing when installing LSPDFR.


Recommended Posts

My antivirus ( it's avast, yes it's not the best ) detected that the setup file was a virus, so I deactivated the AV and proceeded to install LSPDFR. I clicked on the setup, clicked two or three times through the menu and it then says installing and gives me an error as in the attached pic. I tried cancelling it and then running it with administrator privileges, but to no avail. Help would be really appreciated, this is the first time I'm trying out LSPDFR, but I've been a user of LCPDFR for quite some time. Cheers.

Oh and if it's relevant, I clicked on the setup after dragging it onto the desktop, then I tried it with the setup inside the V directory, to no avail.

 

*I have searched 'error opening file for writing' in the search bar and it didn't give me any results. So I hope I don't get banned.*

I already edited the above post and can't see the edit button now, so I'll just reply.

I use some add on mods + some replace mods. No map mods. And IIRC, the 'replace' mods are mainly police cars.

I have ENT installed. I already have ScripthookV and the RAGE plugin installer made me install the Advancedhook too. So now I have both.

I don't know how to post the Ragepluginhook log.. I don't see anything such as that in the directory, maybe it's because I've not actually been able to install LSPDFR and use it till now.

I have the retail version.

My system specs are -

i7 3770K @ 3.5 GHz

AsRock Extreme6 Z77 Mobo
8 GB of G.Skill 1600MHz DDR3 RAM

GeForce GTX 660 Ti GFX card with 2 GB VRAM

1 TB HDD                 

Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 Bit

Here is a screenshot of my V directory.

It's a false-positive, but you did the right thing by disabling your Anti-Virus. I too use Avast, better than Norton or McAfee in my opinion.

Is that the auto-installer version of LSPDFR? Have you tried to use the Manual Installer for LSPDFR? I find that one better to use. 

I can't tell what you are using to extract the files with, is that WINRAR? Make sure you are using the most updated version of WINRAR if you are using that. Other people use 7 ZIP to extract with as well.. Both work just fine..

Are you still having issues installing LSPDFR? or did you get past that part. I see the files in the GTAV Directory, that's why I ask.

I get that error when installing, I have three options as seen in the picture. But I didn't press ignore, because I think it might corrupt the LSPD files. Please help. I use WinRAR 4.0.1 64 Bit version. I also have the manual installation files, but I didn't see any installation guide for that one, so it's lying around unused. I don't know how the files ended up in the directory because everytime I try to install it, it gives me that error and I press 'Abort'.

This is strange. I put the computer to sleep because I had something to do and went away for 2 hours~ and now it installs correctly and I get the option to open the LSPDFR configuration tool. Wth?!

I'm confused, is LSPDFR already installed? looking at your files it looks like its installed.. Or did you not install it fully?

or is that LSPDFR 0.3 and you're trying to go to 0.31 or is that 0.2b that's installed into your GTAV Folder currently?

No, it's the first time I'm trying to install LSPDFR. The files may have been installed as it is but the component which showed the error might have been skipped. I can't see any other possibility. And the version is 0.31. It's all running fine now, haven't yet played it yet, but I'm happy to see the installation bar being finished. ^_^

Oh I see, so your not sure if it full installed correctly? Try to launch RagePluginHook to see if it works. 

The file from that error is sitting in your directory, I can see it

I need help again. The RAGE plugin that I downloaded some 8-10 hours ago is now showing that it doesn't support my game version ( latest version with patchday9ng and lowriders part 2 dlc ). How do I fix this?

Go your RagePluginHook Icon and right click it and select properties, then go to the details tab and tell me what the File version is..

0.36.877.6833

You need to update your RagePluginHook to version (0.38) RAGE Plugin Hook - Open Alpha - 0.38.886.6940

Here is the Link: http://ragepluginhook.net/Downloads.aspx  (The newest version will always be listed at the top of the downloads page)

Make sure you read and follow the ReadMe Installation directions that come with the download carefully. You can also use this short guide I made

Download RagePluginHook 0.38 (DO NOT UNZIP IT YET, follow the directions below)

1. DO NOT unzip the file just yet, Instead follow the steps below
2. Create a Folder on your Desktop and name it whatever you want
3. Drag the RagePluginHook zipped file out of the downloads folder and place it into the folder you created on the desktop
4. Go to that zipped file and right click it and select properties, on the properties screen you should see an unblock option to the lower right hand side of that window, unblock it
5. After you've unblocked it, right click it again and select Extract Here, the file should extract into that folder on your desktop
6. Open up your GTAV Directory and place both the GTAV folder and the Desktop Folder containing the RagePluginHook Files next to each other
7. In the folder containing the RagePluginHook files drag all of the files, including the RagePluginHook.exe Icon and folders except for "Licenses" and "SDK" Folders from the desktop folder and drop it into the GTAV Folder and allow it to overwrite everything.
8. Relaunch RagePluginHook.exe as administrator and see if anything changes..

Give that a go!

It's working.  Thank you so much. ^_^

No problem, glad I could help you out. Also that is a good method to use just in general. Download what you want, place it in an empty folder, unblock it before unzipping, Extract the files, put the folders side by side, drag and drop..
