[Victor_SPQR]

Same f**king sh*t...

[Grifflester]

Install ALL the exe's and the one msi file that is in your first DvD (DvDDRIVE:\GTAIV\Redistributable\*.exe) This SHOULD get rid/FIX of that issue (missing miscellaneous windows drivers missing etc...).

[veejjee]

dosen´t work

[rampage13]

it has something to with C++ 2005 redistributable thing, i reinstalled that and the error was gone

[STKD]

I did all this only to be stuck with the R*20 error anyway on one OS.

[Blade244]

i have the answer for you: you have to runn the LaunchGTAIV.exe as an Administrator, this should fix the issue.
You find it in the GTA4-install-folder: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV

sorry for my bad english

Try to revoke your license or re-activate the game offline, that could work...

[r4iNM4ker]

Download a crack that bypass securom like CureRom or something.

f* securom, f* windows live and f* social club

[gtaaddict2]

Damn I just bought gta4 and i can't even get it to launch because of this god damn SecuLaunch error crap

This post at xtremesystems may help to fix your error.

The error may be related to running the game in Vista 64 bit. The fix uninstalls 64 bit support files and reinstalls 32 bit support files (which do run even in Vista 64).

Please list what OS you are running, it may help to solve the problem.

!!!!!!!!!!Success, you probably have previously uninstalled Visual C++ 2005, thanks rampage13!

I recently uninstalled Visual C++ 2005 and then attempted to run the Grand Theft Auto IV game, except was given the SecuLauncher: Failed to start application error (2000),
so then I installed Visual C++ 2005 SP1 from this website: Visual C++ 2005, installed it and now the game runs!!!! Simply install Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable from that link.

Yeah I unistalled Visual Studio and all elements of it on my PC and it broke GTA IV, the C++ redistributable does indeed fix it but make sure you get the one that says SP1 the normal one does not fix the problem

I was having the same problem here's how I fixed it.

I Originally installed the game, worked fine played it lots etc.. (Game version 1.00.4 or whatever) [Windows Vista 32bit SP2]

As soon as I installed:

- ProVehicleMod_v1.0.1
- ASI Loader
- Monstertruck Rancher
- dsound.dll
- file check fix.asi
- scripthook.dll

The game stopped working.

After un-installing all of those files reverting the game it's original state, and restarting the computer the game worked perfectly.

In my case, one of those files/programs is the cause, not sure which one.
