*Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas* on Vista

[Ring_of_Fire]

If anybody wants to contribute into fixing MTA for Vista may do so.

 

But here's a trick to get to the launching screen successfully!

 

 

OK, many of you have had problems installing. For example, you get the message "Application falied to launch because MSVCP71.DLL was not found." The fix is to go to http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71 and copy and paste this in C:\Windows\System32 (of course your graphics driver package or NET Framework/Visual C++ Runtime have these files as well).

 

So now the "MTA Center Login" works; but what about MTA itself? To fix this, go to C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\race. Delete "Client.dll" file! The contents in this file happens to be not supported for Vista.

However, you will get "Could not load race mod." Can anybody fix this problem for me? Should I wait for MTA to be compatibility with Vista? Should I downgrade .NET FRAMEWORK RUNTIME???

 

Screenshots coming soon...

 

If anybody have problems with the "Could not load race mod" after deleting Client.dll file, restore the file and try downgrading your .NET Framework here:
