Installation of the EFLC under Windows 7


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I bought the coimplete edition of GTA 4 including EFLC + Gta IV. My OS is Windows 7 64 bits Familial Premium.

I can install GTA IV and perfectly plays with it. When I want to install EFLC, after the autorun, I receive a message stating it is only possible under XP SP3 or Vista SP1. My system is not recognized.

I tried to solve that through: non installation of GTA IV - installation of GTA IV- installation of GTA IV with patch 7. Windows live and rockstar game social club and DX 11 were installed under GTA IV.

I also tried to use the compatibility mode (windows 2000 and XP SP3) but it changes nothing.

 

I just have no idea anymore.

 

If you have any idea, thanks a lot.

Pierre, there are no known fixes for this bug. I thought this issue was limited to GTAIV, but apparently, the same error got carried on to the expansion installers.

 

One day, after you do a clean system install, this error will most probably go away.

Hey guys!

 

I have a really wierd opposite problem.

 

I just got windows 7.

Installed GTA IV But I can't run it. (updated everything, GTA IV, GFWL, directx)

Don't even have error message. If I try to run it with GTAIV.exe I get "fatal error dfa did not initialzie...."

If I run it with launchGTAIV.exe it does bring up some alternate window on RGSC and I click play, and nothing happens, no error no nothing.

 

Than I installed EFLC and it runs perfectly!!!

 

I don't get it. EFLC is good but I prefer the original GTAIV that I cant play now.

 

 

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance,

after installing patch 7

 

error reflects

"conflicts with emulation software detected.

please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=emu&c=2500 for further, more detailed information."

 

 

 

now what to do???

please help sad.gifsad.gif

Like the error message says, if you've got Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools running you should shut them down. SecuROM doesn't like CD-drive emulators as they are commonly used to run pirated images, so even if you don't have either of those programs make sure you're not running similar applications (CloneCD, PowerISO, etc).

Why do you have a pirated copy of Windows 7?
