I didn't have any problems installing GTA IV on Windows 7 x64. Installed it originally on build 7057 without any problems, just by clicking on setup.exe and then upgrading GTA IV to 1.0.3.0

Later, I upgraded Windows 7 to build 7068 and everything was still running fine. I'm playing for 15 days now without any crashes, bugs or other problems whatsoever.

[2000] I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't install framework 2.0, but this computer has 3.5 from the original installation. Besides 2.0 is almost impossible to install due to privilege issues. I had GTAIV installed on 7 before, I just forgot how I got around this. Anyone ever had this error? If so, how did you fix it? *I had tried the Securom no-cd crack already. **copied from locked thread =( ok anyone idk how to fix this, I cant run it and it says the same thing like this dude posted, everything is done but it wont let me run the game does anyone kno how to fix this open your cddrive and go to GTAIV then rightclick on setup.exe and set it in compatibility mode to windows 2000. afterwards install gfwl/.netframework from the cd manually. EDIT: thats to install. to fix the 2000 thing. browse your gta cd and go to GTAIV, redistributable, then install everything in there.

ok after that I get this



wat do I do now?

[[ILS]Rosko]

Erm Indi. could you PLEASE do something about the pictures, they don't display just the X... The guide really isn't much without those pictures... "go to the Compatibility tab and set it to this:"... pls fix them :I

I installed Windows 7 RC 7100 and the strange thing is, I experienced no problems with GTA IV at all. It installed, I updated gfwl, patched to 1.040 and then played it just like I would have if it was XP SP3.

I received no warnings about compatibility at all. Not only does it run smoother, as mentioned in another thread, I have been able to almost double settings such as Vehicle Density, View Distance and graphics with no slow downs. I am running at 40-50 fps on my gaming laptop and that annoying stuttering and slow downs that I used to get after 30 minutes play has gone also.

[Ins1d3r]

Do we realy need a guide? Just install like a usual game and change compatibility to sp3 thats all.

I didn't even need to do this. I am guessing that the more recent builds of Windows 7 have had some of the issues fixed.

[dominicr]

I can't manage to install it.

When I run the autorun.exe and press the "accept" button, the window just minimizes to my taskbar and that's all. nothing more happens.

Do you have a slow connection? Just wondering. I see the images fine but maybe their size is causing you a timeout or something.

At any rate they are shots of how you make an offline profile. Get to the GFWL screen where you have access to the Create Profile button at the top center. Click that. If you actually read down that you'd notice at the bottom there's a local profile option so you can create it and play offline and save your progress. They just buried it because they want everyone to actually use online instead but they have to provide a way NOT to, and that is where it is.

If you buy the game you shouldn't have that problem.

[Bayblader]

I have completely installed gta 4, both the cd on my pc with windows 7. But when i try to launch it then it always shows to insert the disk. Can't it be played without reinserting CD(s).

Also, when i insert the cd the video quality is very poor. I mean to say that i can't see the roads, trees, buildings etc. I can only see my car, some people and some objects.

Please tell any solution..
