GTA IV Setup detects non compatibilty with Windows 7. How is this possible? My friends are running GTA4 flawlessly with Windows 7. I have Windows 7 RC but still i cannot install this game. Please help... :crybaby:

Did you try to install it in Compatibility mode? It should work that way.

GTA IV needs Visual C++ redistributable packages to be installed before you can install GTA. Download Visual C++ Redistributable from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Once it is downloaded, Install it before installing GTA IV. Then install GTA IV in Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode. :thumbup1:

Go to GTA4 folder and change the compatibilty mode of the following files to windows 2000 : GTAIVlauncer
GTAIVbrowser
Now go to Rockstar Games Social Club folder and do the same for this file :
RGSCLauncher
You should not have any problem then... :thumbup1:
