Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Ok, here's the deal....I start the installer and it pops up a little window saying that it's finding GTA3....then an error window pops up saying "The exception unknown sofware exception (0xc0000008) occurred in the application at location 0x77f966bc." "Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program" I have no idea what's going on!!! Please someone help me here. I'm running WinXP Pro. I have plenty of memory and my processor is good enough. I've tried uninstalling/re-installing GTA3....had it on another hard drive, so i reinstalled on the standard C: drive...still didn't work. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I have the same error I have downloaded it three times, but it doesnt work. My system: Win XP Pro P3 700 Geforce 2 320 Mb Ram
anzas Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 i had a problam installing when i wasn't logged in as admin user ( i got win2k) maybe thats your problam?
Guest Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 I'm actually always logged on as the administrator so that wouldn't be the problem. I've downloaded from all 4 links and still no luck! Hopefully, someone will figure this out.
Riot Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Are you running from current location or saving to hard drive? If running from current location try saving to hard drive. If that doesn't work try setting the capabilities setting to Win2k. I am running XP Pro too and had no problems with the installer.
Guest Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Hmm. I'm running win2k and i'm having the same damn problem. It's telling me: "program has generated errors...". It's supposed to generate a log with that, but it doesn't. I also tried re-installing. I really don't think an installer is essential. A simple zip would do.
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted May 31, 2003 MTA Team Posted May 31, 2003 no it will not, with the installer we know the installation went correct! If we did it in a zip a undred people will come complain about things that don't work cause they installed it wrong
Guest Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 well then how about one zip and one installer??? with the obviously large signs pointing to the newbies which one is which...
CrowClock Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 I got the patch and the icon that showed a little cpu gets replaced my the 8 ball icon.. i clicked it and it started it to work.. woo hoo.. ps: instead of it showing the install thing.. it goes to the interface. to join a server and stuff
Guest Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Maybe someone knows another solution for this problem? I have done everything what you said, but it still won't work
Guest Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 I agree, someone should get the program zipped up for those of us having problems with the installer itsself. Whoever does it should include an "installation.txt" file or something, but provide NO support in the forum for it so we aren't flooded with stupid questions. Just a suggestion. Also, yes, I saved the file to hard disk....didn't open from remote location. And version 0.2 did work on my computer. It's just 0.3 that's acting up.
me Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Make sure you've downloaded the .NET framework, and all those other annoying 20 meg patches... It might be needed for the installer to work.
Guest Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 yep, .NET is installed....all other updates are also installed.
ldrancer Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 ive had this stuff happen. try to set it to windows 98/me compatability mode. i usually format when my stuff starts messing up that bad, but just try compatibility mode. if that dont work, um i dont know oh and im not sure if this is what helped, but it usually happens when trying to run a dos game in xp. so set it to 98/me mode. i read, somewhere, how to run the dos games in xp and that was a long time ago, but i remember whatv i did, worked.
Guest Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Well, ldrancer....it's funny you mentioned reformatting....cause that's what I ended up doing. Luckily I have two 40 GB HDs so I could back up all important info onto the second one. So I reformatted my HD and reinstalled Win XP and everything else and........YES, the installation of multi-theft-auto worked!!! Hopefully, no one else will have to do this...but it worked! Thanks for everyone's help.
Guest Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 Maybe someone knows ANOTHER solutions for this problem?
