How to install Cleo and SnowFX

[Matias]

Ok some people been asking me how to make Cleo mods work with CD versions of GTA San Andreas.
I will share you guys my experience with it, showing what i did to make it work, I AM NOT 100% SURE IT WILL WORK WITH YOUR GAME but it did with me and if you use a CD version of GTA it should work also.
This programs are the ones i used and i uploaded them by my own so you are 100% sure it will work because it did with me.

Stuff to download for this tutorial:
1 - SnowFX v1.01 - Copyright © 2008 oCain: Download Link
2 - Cleo 4: Download Link
3 - Sanny Builder: Download Link

If you downloaded that stuff you are ready to install it.

1º Step: Install Cleo 4 in your GTA San Andreas folder

2º Step: Install Sanny Builder and when it asks you to install Cleo 3 library press Yes. When installation is done DO NOT open Sanny Builder.

3º Step: Install the SnowFX in your cleo folder at your GTA SA folder. After this step you are ready to launch your game and activate snow pressing CTRL and + at the same time.

Problems:
So far i only had one problem when installed Cleo 4 without Sanny Builder.
I got a message telling me error loading plugin Cleo.asi. I fixed it installing Sanny Builder and cleo 3 library that comes with Sanny Builder.

If there is any problem regarding to install you can leave a reply down here and i will answer you if i know the solution for it.

Greetings!

I did it the same way pretty much but cleo wont work with the/my original EXE, I have to use a downgrade patched EXE and I install cleo 3 first, and then cleo 4 and replaced the files (put the snow FX files back in the cleo 4 library).. it all works.. I thought I did a thing on how to do it.. I will search


edit, you could have searched and found all the topics about it

Meh, i did it by myself and worked, i dont needed help from other people. 
And this topic is meant to help people that cant run cleo because they use CD version of GTA, i know theres alot of snowfx topics at the forum already.

I would try both methods but I don't want to spend another fucking 8 hours trying to make my game run again Any ideas on backing up etc?

[Matias]

You dont need backups to install cleo, if you want to delete it just go to Sanny Builder folder and uninstall, then go to gta sa and delete cleo.asi and cleo folder.

When i choose where to install snow fx i choose cleo but i can`t click the button ok.It`s unavailable.Any suggestions please?Thanks.

[Matias]

You have to choose your GTA SA folder, it will auto install into your cleo folder. Installer will continue if it detects you choosed a GTA SA folder.
