"Run Settings First" - Game doesn't start.

Hello.

The game does not start since it tells you to run the settings before you play.
Anyone know how to adjust the settings manually to make it work?

Here is the error message:

MGL Fatal error!
Error 257.426
Please run "Settings" first (error: open regiestry key)

i had this problem too, so i made a log file when starting the GTA Settings app.

you must have a copy of mfc42.dll installed in the bottle in order to get "GTA Settings.exe" to work. i copied this dll from a windows installation. after doing this, the GTA Settings app worked great. i just clicked 'save' to save the controller settings, and the GTA executable fired right up after that.

i put mfc42.dll into /windows/system32/ and i also fiddled with the winecfg app as a precautionary measure and added mfc42.dll to the list.

hope this helps others get it working.

cheers.
