GTA IV:SA not installing (using crack)

[GosuGirL]

I can't figure out why but the installer finishes but doesn't actually write any files. I have done everything from running as admin to copying the files to Documents (since it doesn't require admin privelages).

I'm using the cracked version because Steam makes setting up GTA 4 a living nightmare with GFWL and Social Club which I really don't want on my computer. I did purchase this game from Steam, don't sue me lol

Don't really need to use a "Crack" The game works fine with Games for Windows Live. What issue are you having exactly with GFWL?

Uh, let's see..

1. it's dead
2. servers are dead
3. it's no longer supported
4. the process is always running even if you close it and see it disappear
5. you need to sign in to save your game
6. you can't sign up because it's dead
7. it also requires you to install social club
8. social club is literally useless and nothing more than a launcher now
9. gfwl is not supported on my region of Windows (Windows 7 K Ultimate)

Meanwhile with a crack you get the Razor 1911 image then you just hope in, nothing more. I paid for the game and I need to use a crack anyway. Quite pathetic how much Rockstar intentionally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the PC and PS3 versions of GTA 4 to promote XBox sales

I can't really assist you with "Cracks". Sorry. Best of luck getting it sorted.

Social Club is still going (that version is just outdated, but works)

GFWL can be clunky but it does work.

There are no need to use cracks at all for this.
