Just in case people are having problems getting the game to work , here is my workaround
This is for the retail 7 CD version
follow the instructions to install all 7 CD's , be prepared it takes ages almost a hour actually on my PC .
After you've done that it's time to go online add your key and sign into your Rockstar Social Club Account .
Then the game will download the updates ( if your lucky , mine did the same update upon update upon update ) , after 12 hours of this crap it was time to search the www to find a soloution .
first up I found a link to download the 340+mb update and installed that manually .
The game started up...............yippie..............then I got the dreaded "zlib call pleast reboot or reinstall the game" ...............yer like all 60.4GB...!!!???
Nope did some more checking , finally found out about "checksums" it seems one of my files was corrupted but which one ?
So after downloading Md5checker I took a look at each one of the files in the main rockstar folder , the correct ones should look like this
x64a.rpf - 683610e269ba60c5fcc7a9f6d1a8bfd5

Don't worry if the letters are in Caps in the checksums it's still ok
In my case the x64b.rpf file was corrupt , so i simply deleted it , restarted the Rockstar Launcher and it automaticaly downloaded the correct file from the server .
Game is now running fine..............finally
