Hi - after reinstalling GTA IV I was able to update the patch. I then reinstalled 095RC2R2 successfully. I think that the issue must have been due to an issue with the original install. The game now runs so the issue is resolved. Thanks for your help.

I as finally able to run the diagnostic tool and received the following report: BEGIN *SIGNED* LCPD First Response Issue Report Diagnostics Tool Version: 0.4.3 Operating system: Windows7 Unknown (6.1.1.0 Build: 7601) Service Pack:Service Pack 1 System RAM (GB): 7.92 CPU cores: 8 NET Framework 4.0 installed: True Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed: True GTA IV - Installed: True GTA IV - Install folder: C:Program Files (x86)Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IV GTA IV - Version: 1, 0, 0, 0 GTA IV - Asi loader installed: True GTA IV - Asi loader: DSOUND GTA IV - Asi loader valid: True GTA IV - C++ ScriptHook installed: True GTA IV - C++ ScriptHook valid: True GTA IV - C++ ScriptHook version: 0, 5, 1, 0 GTA IV - ScriptHookDotNet installed: True GTA IV - ScriptHookDotNet valid: True End of *SIGNED* LCPD First Response Issue Report Digital signature: HK/WzzbeA5RB7ifO87shcQ==

I'm now getting the following error when I try to reinstall 095RC2R2: Installation component 'NETScriptHook' error'd! at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share) at System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(String path, Byte[] bytes) at G17MediaSetupEngine.Stuff.ExtractResourceToPath(String resourceName, String destName, Boolean pureres) at G17MediaSetupEngine.Stuff.ExtractResourceToPath(String resourceName, String destName) at G17MediaSetupEngine.Installation_Components.NETScripthook.beginComponent() at G17MediaSetupEngine.UI.Interface.wizardControl1_SelectedPageChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) at G17MediaSetupEngine.UI.Interface.wizardControl1_SelectedPageChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)

I also get this error when I try to start GTA IV: Exception EFCreatError in module DSOUND>DLL and 000116C5 Cannot create file "C:Program Files (x86)Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IVasilog.txt".Access is denied. I also tried right click and Run as Admin and the program still crashes, but I don't get the error message above.

Sorry, I actually tried right clicking and run as Admin and I had the same issue. I'm almost done reinstalling GTA IV to see if that fixes the issue.

Yes, my user account is the admin.

I've been having trouble updating to patch 1.0.7.0 and found that Dsound.dll OR Xlive.dll are not installed in the GTA IV root directory. So I then attempted to reinstall 095RC2R2 and received the error below with a note asking me to post it on this forum: _______________________________________________________________ Installation component 'LCPDFRModels' error'd! at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options) at System.IO.StreamWriter.CreateFile(String path, Boolean append) at System.IO.StreamWriter..ctor(String path, Boolean append, Encoding encoding, Int32 bufferSize) at System.IO.StreamWriter..ctor(String path, Boolean append, Encoding encoding) at System.IO.File.InternalWriteAllText(String path, String contents, Encoding encoding) at System.IO.File.WriteAllText(String path, String contents) at G17MediaSetupEngine.Installation_Components.tazershit.beginComponent() at G17MediaSetupEngine.UI.Interface.wizardControl1_SelectedPageChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) at G17MediaSetupEngine.UI.Interface.wizardControl1_SelectedPageChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) ________________________________________________________________ I also attempted to run the diagnostic tool and that crashed. GTA IV also crashes when I attempt to start it. Any suggestions?
