MTA:SA launcher code
MTA:SA error CL15
There is a semicolon in the path to GTA or MTA, and the game cannot handle it.
How to fix it
Look at the two installation paths
Look at the MTA folder and the GTA folder. The warning is about a real semicolon (;) in a folder name, not the colon after a Windows drive letter.
Source: MTA help
Move it to a folder without a semicolon
Only if an installation path contains ; and MTA has a problem that comes with this warning.
Use the installer of the affected one, MTA or GTA, to put it in a path without a semicolon. Keep a copy of your settings, saves and projects before you change an installation.

Point MTA at the new GTA folder
If GTA moved, choose its new folder in the MTA installer. Then open that installation and try again.

These are the steps of the guide CL15: semicolon in the installation path.
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 CL15 as Path contains semicolon.
