Q: I get the error message 'SecuLauncher: failed to start application. [2000]'
A: Please note that this is a common issue when the Visual Studio C++ redistributable and/or Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 was not installed properly.
- To solve the issue, please open your Windows Explorer/My Computer and switch to the following directory on the
'Grand Theft Auto IV' Disc #1: e.g. E:\GTAIV\Redistributable\.
If you own the Steam download version, please open your installation path of 'Grand Theft Auto IV':
e.g. C:/Progra...steamapps/common/grand theft auto iv/installers.
In that folder you will find a file called 'vcredist_x86.exe'. Please execute this application and follow the installation wizard.
- Please also download and install the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
After you have successfully installed the Visual Studio C++ redistributable and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 please perform the recommended reboot. 'Grand Theft Auto IV' should start fine now.
