Is this a retail copy or a Steam copy?

Post your system specifications.

Make sure you close all running applications before trying to install the game. Close your anti-virus, firewall and everything else that might interfere in the installation.

Retail

 

Specs

Q9550

GTX275

XFX 780i SLI MCP

Team Dark 2x2GB DDR2 1066

Seagate 640GB x2 Raid 0

Vista Business 32-Bit

 

I don't have an anti-virus, but I will disable windows firewall and see what that does.

 

*Edit

I closed every non-essential windows process, disabled firewall, and tried it again.. Still does the same thing sad.gif

What happens after the cmd box appears and goes? Is the setup still running? Check the Processes in Windows Task Manager. If there is a setup.exe or anything related to IV in there, then right-click on it and try changing its priority to High. See if it helps.

 

Also, I hope you have Service Pack 1 of Vista since that's the game's requirement.

The only thing running in task manager that is related to GTA IV is "autorun.exe". After I press accept on the "Grand Theft Auto IV Setup" the blank cmd box pops up, then it returns me to the GTA IV Setup. Nothing appears in the task manager when the blank cmd box pops up.

 

I'm on SP2

Which OS are you using? I guess Vista.

 

Do you have any disk imaging software installed? Is maybe the DVD damaged? Try copying both DVDs to HDD and install from there. How much free space do you have on your system partition?
