Hello. Here is the pastebin link.

MTA doesn't offer technical support for pirated copies of GTA (depending on what you meant with "downloaded GTA").

Assuming you meant digital download (that you bought the original game digitally - otherwise don't proceed) then this should work:

1) confirm you got the original game files and that the digital download completed without interruptions or issues. If it's the Steam version of GTA SA, you can rightclick the game > "verify game files"

2) point MTA to the correct folder location where your GTA is installed. The log you provided indicates you made a mistake, because all GTA files it's able to check return errors as they don't exist or are inaccessible.

 

The last part (about log) means you made either of these mistakes:

* You don't have valid GTA game files (so you need to follow step 1)

* You pointed MTA to the wrong directory during installation. Re-install MTA (with mtasa-1.5.9.exe from https://mtasa.com/) and point it to the correct one. In your case, i suspect that your GTA installation in reality is within this folder: D:\GTA SA\GTA San Andreas but you pointed it to D:\GTA SA - you're using an unusual subdirectory way of installing things, probably leading you to make a mistake.

 

For both the steps, it's important you understand how to locate and recognize your GTA installation folder. So to make sure of that, it should look something like below screenshot:

If your game is pirated, we can't help you any further.
