hey guys, Ive been trying to install LCPDFR 1.1 for GTA IV (1.0.7.0) recently, and every time i get an error as soon as the game loads up, saying "LCPDFR loader.loader error" or something like that, so naturally alt+P yields no visible result. The diagnostic tool said everything was fine exept for the log file, which was marked orange and prompted me to click on the log file. some kind of error with scripthookdotnet file it seems...ive read a lot of posts on this issue with different solutions, none of them seems to be working. I have already tried automatic install, manual, and also tried installing the previous version of LCPDFR (1.0) with the same result.

also, side note: my game will not start with dsound.dill when modded, it says it needs xlive or whatever to load. 

heres my log file: (i bolded the important section near the bottom)
