GTA 5 Setup tool - unknown file type?

[TheHeartless193]

-Created a RSC account
-Used the Rockstar Code and activated when prompted
-Site asks if I'm activiating GTA 5, hit confirm
-Clicked download for windows, download completes

The setup tool is in my downloads folder, 175MB, but it is a file type and I can't open it. What is going on?

The file is encrypted until the release date. Common knowledge.

Try to manually install the RGSC client here:
http://patches.rockstargames.com/prod/socialclub/Social%20Club%20v1.1.5.5%20Setup.exe

Hopefully you'll be able to preload the game and play through here

He Activated a non Steam Key on the Social Club means he need to download the Rockstar Version of Steam to pre Download the Game. Download it again and try again.

Okay? So I downloaded and ran the setup for RGSC ver. 1.1.5.5 and absolutely nothing happens. It just finishes installing. No Desktop icon or.exe or anything. I can see it in programs x86 but the 'subprocess' application does nothing. I can only use the uninstall option.

Woops~ you're right. Looks like the link I gave you is that thing used by GTA IV, useless in your case.
Concerning your problem, no idea what to do :/ what's the extension of the file ?

Use Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer!

That's funny. The e-mail I got doesn't specify anywhere that the content's locked until the 14th. Just activation instructions.

As you can see on this screenshot:

There's a rockstar launcher thingy to preload the game. It's not supposed to be encrypted or anything, and I'm pretty sure it's what OP is having trouble to install.

I just want to know where I can find that. R* isn't exactly making it easy to locate

Rename and add .exe to the end, worked for me

I don't get how you downloaded the tool , I tried to press on the (for windows) button , it says please download the game through steam , and when I try to activate using the code I get : it is invalid or has been used .... please tell me what to do..
