Also fill out the rest of the template.

I tried installing fiveM

and it refuses to download saying “An access denied error was encountered please run system as administrator or contact support”

it happened as soon as i tried downloading the client.

also this: GTA V folder screenshot
GTA V/update/x64/dlcpacks screenshot
Filepath to FiveM folder
FiveM client folder screenshot

doesn’t exist since I cannot download the client.

These should already exist because they’re not FiveM related, if not install GTA V first.

no mods installed


Where’s the FiveM.exe file located that you downloaded form www.fivem.net? Can you show a screenshot of that folder?
