I just bought GTA San Andreas Version 1 (Moddable one, works with samp etc.) and I downloaded the latest SAMP installer and proceeded to install.

The problem I got was, I couldn't PRESS the "Install" button, it was grayed and clicking it did nothing. I selected the right path, "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas" which is where I installed it and it let me press "ok" after selecting that path in "Browse" but I could not press install.

If you think I'm an idiot who has not install San Andreas or has chosen the wrong path, look:


I also ran the GTA_SA.exe singleplayer to see if it worked and it did, perfectly, I even changed some settings to create a .set file, but still, no luck.

And if you think the name of the .exe file is the problem, i renamed it to "gta_sa" with no luck, and then "gta_sa.exe"
and the problem still occurs.

Any suggestions?

oh and I tried moving the directory and then installing but it did not work.

edit again: I should also add that if you look at my username I've been here over a year, and I've been using SAMP for over 2 years and I have never, ever had this problem in the past.

Are you sure it's version 1.0/1.1? Use the downgrader patch anyway.

I ran the patch and it didn't work (because it does not need patching)

try to instal it in a empty folder and after the installation, put everyting in your GTASA folder. (reason: you don't have the rights do instal in that folder) Or try to open the installer als 'run as administator'

When you choose place to install sa-mp click the gta folder so you come in to all files and press ok ... Have you Team wiver?? Maybe can help you that way if you want..
Pm me if you want

Im not sure if it works to install there.. Inside the folder but you can try it. Or just select the folder........

Uninstall GTA and then install it again into a different path. Something like C:\Program Files\GTA San Andreas

Math: I've tried that and it wont let me press install, nothing lets me press install

Dave: No shit did you even see the pictures? That shit isn't working.

Real: I've stated above that i've moved the installation of GTA many times and it has not helped.

I appreciate you trying to help but please read the full topic.

if someone could install all the SAMP contents into a folder and then give me a download link for that folder, that would allow me to copy all the contents into my directory and 'Wallah!' problem solved. Please?

Rename the GTA San Andreas file to gta_sa and it'll work. I am sure

Edit: in the /Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas folder, ofc.

WHY DIDN'T IT WORK BEFORE BUT NOW IT DOES?!?!?

Those programs were searching for the exe file named gta_sa.exe, not GTA San Andreas.exe
Don't rename your .exe files, that's a stupid thing.
