Stardrone Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You deleted GTA4 or uninstalled it first? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/438867-gta-iv-problem/#findComment-1059747252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanethegooner Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 That's probably why it wont work then. Your system probably thinks it's still installed/all files intact. You're suppose to uninstall it, not delete the files lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/438867-gta-iv-problem/#findComment-1059747296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkey82 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You should look in this folder %systemdrive%:\Windows\Installer where GTAIV uninstaller is located, don't know in which folder, though. You can also go into registry and delete this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games but if you're not sure about what you're doing, don't do it.

PecanFrost Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You're probably going to have to rename the Installshield folder for GTA IV. If you go to the Drive that holds your Program files folder and open it, look for a folder called Installshield Installation Information(it may be hidden and you may have to go to Tools, Folder Options and then View, make sure Show Hidden Files is selected and apply) Once open look for a file named 579BA58C-F33D-4970-9953-B94B43768AC3(that's what it's called here so I hope it's the same for you). Right click and rename, it can be anything you want. Then right click on the drive with the install disk in and select explore, open up the GTAIV folder and run Setup, should then work.

viometrix Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I didn`t have much time and i couldn`t find unistall so I just deleted.But the question is what to do now? please please, im dying to hear this, i didnt have much time? so you were in such a rush to go somewhere etc or do something else, but you absolutely had to uninstall it? it couldnt wait till later? it waited till later to try a reinstall, so why couldnt you wait to uninstall. i mean ive heard some stuff, but didnt have time to uninstall? was your computer going to blow up in 15 seconds if you didnt remove gta IV? personally i think if you did something dumb like that, suffer the consequences.

vudijsuns Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thx PecanFrost! I`m installing it now. And viometrix- what was the catch to add a comment like this?

Chevyboy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thx PecanFrost! I`m installing it now.And viometrix- what was the catch to add a comment like this? Like him or not he has a point, how could one be "in such a rush" that you had to delete GTA 4 rather than uninstalling it properly (which takes a mere moment as well)? It boggles the mind, stupid decision. Glad you got it working but wow...

Glad you got it working but wow... @Chevyboy - Thank you Sir @vudijsuns - i am glad you got it working, but id still love an answer. just be glad i am working hard to not be super abusive anymore. i also dont feel i was out of line, as i am sure hundreds or more have read your post and wondered " what the hell was he thinking?" i just know some average end users i deal with that wouldnt have done that, and i sure wouldnt. not trying to be mean, just to understand the logic/ reason behind what you did, or maybe even score out a good laugh. either would satisfy me.

vudijsuns Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 It's just installed now. But when I open SC and press ''Play'' nothing happens. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/438867-gta-iv-problem/#findComment-1059748316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vudijsuns Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 and yes. When I press ''play'' in offline mode, a warning appears, that I can't play online and upload videos with no network connection. So the system ''thinks'' that I want to play online. But I just want to play offline. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/438867-gta-iv-problem/#findComment-1059749382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Deuce Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Uninstall it from the Windows program list, then use CCleaner (Google it, download) to rid of any registry files left behind. Reinstall. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/438867-gta-iv-problem/#findComment-1059750319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
