Hi Gang, Thanks for all the great information.

Seems I am getting another failure or something else is just wrong.
When I installed the game i got an error at the Social club section that "You must use the Role Management Tool to install or configure Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 x64."

Does anyone have anything related to this? Please help.

I'm also getting at launch of the social club this error :

RGSC has stopped working.

I have a little problem with the game. I cannot start it using start butting in game menu cause the loop showing characters from game never ends. Instead of this i start the benchmark and when i quit the benchmark the game starts so its really annoying. I made everything u said here to run the game. My spec is winserv 2008 x64 EE, double dual core opterons and gf9600gt. Is there anything else i should do?

The characters video is the loading screen, actually.Its too long probably thats why they made it that way. Maybe something with your save is wrong move it somewhere else until you find whats wrong(by default its located in my documents, i think)

Hi all,

Registered purely so I could thank you lot for finding out how to get this running on WS2008. I'd trawled through dozens of forums looking for any help with getting this running and finally (not even sure what I googled) found my way to this thread. Tips worked a treat, I'll be hanging around as it seems like this is a damn useful forum to read! :mrgreen:

YESS!!!

I got the XInput DLL from here:
http://www.m3fe.com/content/xinput
and grabbed the D3D9REF one out of the June 2008 DirectX SDK (had to install it).
I was too lazy to register them, so I just chucked them into the game folder.

Good luck!

runs like a charm, just needed to install a couple of things.

I have S2008 (SP2, 64bit, Server, not Enterprise, not R2).
I have GTA4 english version and GTA4 patch v1.0.7.0

I just iterated on searching for solutions regarding the GTA4 runtime errors, until it finally worked
Here is what I did:

Note that some software needs to be activated under Windows 2008 features (don't download a setup.exe), see below:

- downloaded&installed newest DirectX9.0c before installing GTA
(I think that one also brings "XInput DLL", because I did not need to copy that file)
(Maybe the directx9 version distributed on GTA disk is not aware of server 2008)

- download&install "GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE CLIENT"
(otherwise you'll get error "...live.dll missing..." when starting GTA)

- under Start Menu / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Server Manager / Features
add at least theses features:
- NET Framework 3
- Desktop Experience (this will bring Media Player 11)

- To prevent error "...TEXP70 - Depth Render Target ..." - download&install newest GFX driver for your GFX chip.
I did not need to uninstall the old ones in safe mode ("F8" during windows boot), but this may help in some cases regarding to google
You willl need a GFX driver that actually fits for Server 2008 (e.g. don't use XP64bit driver).

- start Internet Explorer 32bit, then download&install Flash Player

- then install GTA 4 and latest patch

- If you still get an GTA4 start error, google for the error, to find whats missing and try first adding the missing part, before completely reinstalling GTA4, to safe some time

- you may also want to make sure you have all Windows patches installed

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, on a Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9650, 8GB DDR3 and Radeon HD 4890 1GB. I have this problem too, where the game crashes right after the "Grand Theft Auto IV" screen after the two Rockstar logos. However, with mine it does not give any error message, the game just waits for a few seconds and then quietly closes. I can confirm that it's not Games Explorer because I have tried it both clean install and then with xliveless.
