GTA:SA installation error

mankvill · 09-17-2006, 06:54 PM

I get this error when I try to install:

How can I fix this?

It might be because I JUST put in my DVD drive back in my computer. Maybe it came with a Disc that I have to install?

And then when I explore the DVD, There is "data1, data2," etc. all the way to data5. I try to open them, and it says: "E:/data1.cab" and then says something about it being unable to open it or something. It froze up, I can't see. D:

It's trying to open it using WinRAR.

Hi mankvill,

Is the error always exactly the same - involving the same file and same component?

Run through these steps:

1. Restart your system and try the installation again.

2. Check the disc to see if it is scratched or marked.

3. If you have access to another DVD drive, try installing the game from that drive instead of your current drive.

4. Install the game on another computer, to test if the disc is fine. (Remember to uninstall the game straight after.)

Post back with results.

you can also try to copy the files of your DVD to a temp folder on your hard drive and try to install from there.

I tried this, and it gave me another error when it got to data2.cab.

Sounds like the disc is bad. Follow my instructions as per my previous post, and post back with results.
