Why can't you install? What does it tell you?

You shouldn't need to browse unless it does not detect your install location.

As mentioned when you come to installing it, it doesn't detect your San Andreas installation, point the install to it's location.

It doesn't matter which link you choose to download the mod they are all host the same files...

How did you install SA:MP 0.3d?
0.3e installs to GTA San Andreas folder, not San Andreas User files.

Click on Start, Search, then type "GTA San Andreas", install SA:MP 0.3e to that folder in the location it shows.
Title: Re: Why i can't play SA:MP?
Post by: Michele_Noord on May 10, 2012, 03:49:50 pm
Mostly it's in C: Program Files > Rockstar Games > GTA San Andreas(for vista I think). There should your SAMP be placed. Download 0.3e and put it there. Not in San Andreas User Files.

You sure you got San Andreas Single Player? If yes, where did you put it?

If no, get GTA SA and install it, then install SA:MP 0.3e

Install San Andreas Multiplayer to the folder where your Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is located.

Post by: SitOne on May 10, 2012, 04:49:37 pm
Start > My computer > diskdrive C > Program Files > Rockstar Games > Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas > There

And if that doesn't work, make a backup of all the files. I have that on my desktop and installed it there because it didn't work the way i showed you.
Install the 0.3 in the backup files and then copy them in the same place.
Title: Re: Why i can't play SA:MP?
Post by: Rusty on May 10, 2012, 04:51:27 pm
1. Install GTASA at (C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\)
2. Download a No CD v1.0 EXE Crack (need one to play without using the disc) - http://www.filedropper.com/gtasa_1 (http://www.filedropper.com/gtasa_1)
- Place it in your GTASA Directory and replace the old one.
3. Go to http://www.sa-mp.com (http://www.sa-mp.com) - Download SA:MP Client 0.3e.
4. Run the SA:MP client installer and install to your GTASA Directory (as mentioned above).
5. Double Click SAMP.exe to launch SA:MP.
6. Happy Playing.

I'm pretty sure you got mods, no need to un install unless you recently installed a mod. Just re start your pc. It helped me, my sa:mp got frozen several times and laptop acting weird as well, one re start fixed everything.

And what Windows you have Knightzzz?

For me in windows 7, it installs in C drive -> Games -> Gta San Andreas.

Also is your game pirated/downloaded? Just answer in Yes or No.

Press start and go to ''computer'' , then press Program files (I think) then Rockstar games or just Games and then GTA San Andreas.
Do you even know where you putted your GTA San Andreas SINGLE PLAYER ? Which documents etc.

That is the location of your GTASA directory right there.

Take a close look at my attachment it may/should be similar to yours. This is your San Andreas install directory which is where SA-MP should be pointed to.

Didn't think this would turn into a four page effort. :lol:

You install SA-MP in that directory you have now found. Destination Folder, should show your San Andreas installation if it does click install. If i doesn't point it to the San Andreas directory.
Title: Re: Why i can't play SA:MP?
Post by: Michele_Noord on May 11, 2012, 02:48:35 pm
Go to your short cut of GTA San Andreas SINGLE PLAYER right click on mouse > properties. Look at where this is located at. Then download 0.3e and put it at the same document where your GTA San Andreas SINGLE PLAYER is located.

Title: Re: Why i can't play SA:MP?
Post by: Teddy on May 11, 2012, 03:12:30 pm
You need to select the GTA SA folder inside RockStar games, not just the root rockstar games folder.

"Can't install".. What do you mean by this; You can install samp to C:\ILoveSAMP\ if the folder exists; it'll install it anywhere is my point. Are you getting an error? If you are getting an error you will most likely need one of the following.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=5555 (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=5555) x86
or
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en....aspx?id=14632 (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en....aspx?id=14632) x64

These should most likely already be installed if you use Windows Update, however fresh installs/lacking the update button can create a problem. This is normally only a server problem; however can still be a cause.

If you are getting an error and you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 try running as administrator.
If you are using Windows 8, this could be a driver issue or some sort of C++ error in the latest build.

While by the way you are describing it. It doesn't seem like a problem with SA:MP, or the GTA files.

Hope it helps

To make it easier simply paste this, C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\ into the 'Destination folder', box next to 'browse' then click install. Of course if you are running a 32bit version of Windows 7 and it is most probable, you would have to remove the (x86) including the brackets.

No, C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\ exactly like that is how it should look when it comes to installing... if it doesn't look like this make it...
Title: Re: Why i can't play SA:MP?
Post by: TheRock on May 15, 2012, 12:13:11 am
In order to install SA-MP you need to locate your GTA:SA Installation, as said a lot times before the installation is most likely to be in C:/Program Files/Rockstar Games/Gta San Andreas/ to choose that, whilst you are choosing the folder, go to 'My Computer', then check the "C:/" Hard Disk, it will open up a lot of folders, choose "Program Files", "Rockstar Games" and then "GTA San Andreas".

Took some time, but I hope this helps:
