This is to help those having issues installing the mod.

Installing the mod the first time depends on all the files being over written also not being missed or skipped by the installer.

There are two problems with those using XP, Vista and now Seven

1. On some comps when you remove read-only from all the files, not all the files get changed. (XP and Seven)
2. When you run the GTASOL51.9 installer, not all the files are being replaced. (XP)
3. If the mod is compressed with 7zip or Winrar use the right un-packer.
4. Since 51.9 the mod was compressed with 7zip so download this to open the archive.

So I am changing how you install the game.

• First install a clean version of VC and run this once.
• Make a new GTA folder and call it GTASOL51.9 or what ever you want.
• Copy the GTA-VC.exe into this new folder.
• Copy the Anims and Audio folder to this folder also.
• (GTASOL51.9 605Megs) mod installer; Run and Install this into the new GTA folder.

Future mod updates should work too.

You should have no problems running it from here, Vista/Seven users need to make sure there is a Vice City Data folder in the C:/Users/Accountfolder*/Vice City*..

The original exe has to be used before you install the mod.
