GTA IV Installation Error!

Whenever I try to install Grand Theft Auto IV or Grand Theft Auto : Episodes From Liberty City, it shows the following error :-

Error Code: -5006 : 0x80070002

Error Information:

>SetupNew\setup.cpp (630)

PAPP:Grand Theft Auto IV

PVENDOR:Rockstar Games (##ISD_STRING_WEBADDRESS##)

PGUID:579BA58C-F33D-4970-9953-B94B43768AC3

$15.0.0.498

@Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (7601)

IE Version: 9.11.9600.17420

Please help me with this error!!

My PC Specifications:

OS :- Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 Bit

RAM :- 4GB

Hard Disk :- 500GB

Processor :- Intel i3 3220 3.3 Ghz

Graphics :- Intel HD Graphics 2500

I solved this error easily. The solution was to install GTA IV through the installation disc or by mounting ISO file.

Thanks @BossDweebe for the reply.

I have played GTA 4 on the same configuration but with the different monitor. Earlier I had the monitor of HCL CRT 17 inches but now I have Dell LED S2240L 21.5 inches.

And yes, I have PC not a laptop.

But, are you sure that a monitor can be a problem??

I copied the original GTA 4 game cd and I'm trying to install it from my hard drive. But I don't have the CD available now.

The installation fails at the starting point after selecting the installation language.

At what point does the install fail ? Are you connected to the internet when installing ?

What version of GTA4 are you attempting to install - Retail disk, Steam, or other ?

I don 't know about the -5006 part, but 5006 (with a different second set of numbers from

what you have shown) = The cluster resource is not available.

• The only other error with the second set of numbers appears to be -  -2147024894,  0x80070002 , which translates to 'The system cannot find the file specified'.

However - setup.cpp (630) points to an Installshield error. This could come from a corrupt

installer, or there may be files leftover from a previous failed install of the game.

• Check the location you are installing the game to. If there is a Grand Theft Auto 4 folder still

in that location, delete the folder (unless it's empty).

Also delete the GTA4 folder from your - User\My Documents\Rockstar Games.

• Reboot and try to install again.

The    Graphics :- Intel HD Graphics 2500  could also be a problem. As there is no 'm' behind 3220,

I assume this is a PC, not a laptop.

• On a PC monitor of 21.5" or larger @1080 it may be unplayable, depending on your tolerance

for lag and stutter. GTA4 is a cpu intensive game, more so when the graphics processor is low end.

Your dual core i3 is likely to struggle to achieve playable frame rates ( i3's have two more 'virtual' cores via Hyper-threading, but GTA4 does not use Hyper-threading).

eg .- 'resolution, 1280x720 ; FPS,  Avg_ 25 -Min 18 '. Not a smooth gameplay frame rate, and this

was using a quad core i5 3570 w/HD2500 graphics.

• If you were using a laptop with a small screen it may be OK, but the cpu would still  be working hard, so cooling would be an issue with long gaming sessions.

I have performed a clean installation of windows 7. I have never installed Windows Vista on my machine.

I have installed this game before from those setup files but no error occured both in GTA 4 and GTA EFLC.

But now, error occurs in both the setups.

And you said that a setup can't encounter an error because of monitor?..  Are you sure??..

"I copied the original GTA 4 game cd and I'm trying to install it from my hard drive. But I don't have the CD available now."

'The system cannot find the file specified'. -  I thought that this may be in relation to a copy protection file. 

It may be your 'copy' to the HDD is missing DRM files.

'@Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (7601)' - If you copied a game that was installed on a machine with

Vista you may have problems running it, if your Win7 was a clean install  vs an  Win7 'Upgrade' from MS, because the registry keys for the game would be missing.                                                                                             

"But, are you sure that a monitor can be a problem??"

Only if the game installs. That was in reference to how well the system can handle the game.

If you are using a higher resolution setting in the game than when playing on the 17" monitor, yes.

The higher the res, the more pixels to draw. The game will run slower.
