MTA:SA launcher code

MTA:SA error CL01

An installation step failed while MTA was setting itself up.

How to fix it

1. Start MTA again and press OK

   Start MTA again. When MTA needs Administrator access, it shows a box with the name of the task and says to confirm in the next window. Read which task it names, then press OK.

2. Select Yes in the Windows window

   Windows then shows its own window (User Account Control) and asks if you allow the change. Select Yes. Then the task runs with administrator rights.

3. Windows asks for an administrator account

   Only if Windows asks for an administrator's sign-in details instead of showing Yes.

   Your Windows account is a standard account. Windows asks for the user name and password of an administrator account on this PC. Enter them to allow the task.

4. Patching still fails

   Only if the task was Patch GTA:SA and, after you confirmed, MTA says patching GTA:SA has failed.

   Use the fix for 'patching GTA:SA has failed'.

   MTA:SA cannot launch because patching GTA:SA has failed →

These are the steps of the guide CL01: MTA:SA could not complete the following task (Administrator access).

Still not fixed? Copy the whole message, not only the code, and check your log in the Fix tool. It is read on your own computer.

About this code

CL codes come from MTA's launcher, before the game starts: installing an update, finding GTA, loading MTA's own files or starting gta_sa.exe. MTA's own documentation gives CL01 as Installation task failed.
