MTA:SA fix

CL01: MTA:SA could not complete the following task (Administrator access)

MTA needed Administrator access for a task, such as Patch GTA:SA, and did not get it. Start MTA again, press OK, and allow the change in the Windows window.

Codes on this page: CL01

Steps

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.

   Source: MTA source code

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'.
