GTA IV fail to launch

Last spring Rockstar was letting people upgrade to GTA IV the Complete Edition for free. All you needed was the Product Key from either your copy of GTA IV or EFLC. I did that back then. I don't know if they are still doing that.

However, my old copies of GTA IV and EFLC still work. These games don't interfere with GTA IV the Complete Edition because they save games in different locations.

I did this to install GTA IV:
1. Install game from DVDs and stop at Release Date Check
2. Change computer date year to 2013
3. Continue with Release Date Check
4. When finished return date to current date
5. Run GTA IV Patch 8
6. Copy XLiveLess to Install directory

At this point GTA IV will run. It still requires Disk 1 to be in the DVD drive. I have a fix for that.

I just took screenshots of GTA IV, GTA IV EFLC, and GTA IV TCE to show that I have them all working.
