Hello guys, i made this thread because i need some help with installing GTA IV!
This is what happens:
I mount the 2 iso's.
The game is installing.
GTA IV asks for the second CD and i select it.
It continues installing, but than it stops when installing manhat09.img and says:
(Translated from dutch)
"Could not install. Data3.cab seems to be damaged. Unfixable problem.":upset:

Than when i press OK, the installer stops running and GTA IV is not installed.

I googled alot about anything i could do, replacing manhat09.img or fixing data3.cab , but there were no good search results.:sigh:

Anyone can help me solving this problem and installing GTA IV completely?? :4-dontkno

Big Thanks already,
Menno.

PS: If any of you needs more information to help me, just ask it and i'll post the info/screenshots.

looks like you didn't buy the game.

This is a pirated copy. Go and buy the game its worth every penny.

The retail version of GTA4 comes on 2 DVDs, not ISOs.

If you created the ISOs from the original discs, you've done it wrong. If you've downloaded the ISO via P2P, read the forum rules about illegal activities and piracy.

Disable your drive emulation software, insert the GTA4 DVD1 and try installing again.

This is not downloaded/illegal. I got this from the original CD's from my friend. HE made the iso's and gave them to me.
So i need to mount them as i haven't got the CD's.

So how is the data3.cab damaged than?? :sigh:

If you're using ISOs for a game that you don't own, that's called piracy. Try installing from the original discs.

I asked my friend, he just tried to install the game either. And he got exactly the same problem... so?? what now?

We can't tell what the problem is with your friend's computer without seeing his system specs, driver details, etc. and we can't help you with illegal software.

If the data3.cab file is giving errors when installing from the original discs, take the game back and exchange it for a new one. It could be a scratch on the disc or a bad batch.

Ok, thank you ^^.
We're taking the game back and exchange it for a new one.
If the same thing still happens, i'll tell it; if not, i will say Thank You Koala ray:

You and your friend need t obuy a copy OF GTA 4 each.

Once you both by the game, then it should install properly.

 

[menno1234561]

Ye right. Now i decided to buy GTA 4 myself, but nothing changed!
IT STILL DOESN'T WORK...
Pff.. scr**ed up 40 bucks.

 

[Jason09]

Is it still giving the same messages?

 

[RockmasteR]

try to copy the DVD content to your Hard disk and try the installation from there
also be sure that your system can handle the game
also try to run the setup as administrator

 

[McNinja]

What are your system specs?

RAM
CPU
Motherboard
Graphics card
PSU (power supply unit)

Could always get GTA IV on Steam >_> installing from there's easy as pie. (assuming you can run it anyway, I cant D: )
