Frubidore Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I downloaded GrandTheftAutoV-TheManual.msi from the official site. And I get the message: "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." I tried downloading it from another source and I get the same message, so I know it wasn't a faulty download.

davidintel1965 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Same here, anyone else experiencing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbollox Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I had that problem and what I did was I turned the .msi file into a zip file by changing .msi extention to.zip and inside taht was the real installer that worked.So Ive ve uploaded it here: https://mega.co.nz/#!TIcxXQZb!u2_fXX4Z03oxy4LnQTKU5riDqfRewg2b5iMojddxv2s and yes this installer works. wh_t_v_r, UltraGizmo64 and GTAVO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh_t_v_r Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Oh wow so they simply forgot the .zip file extension. So it's just a ZIP file, no wonder msiexec got a fit. Thank you Dbollox for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbollox Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Your welcome wh_t_v_r. It seems to be. But As to why Rockstar made the download as a fake .msi installer,Ive no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
