I haven't seen anyone with the same issue as me from searching online and wondered if anyone has run into this or knows a fix. The last thing they suggested was reinstalling GTA V, which I am doing, but as I said before I don't think it'll work. I've submitted a ticket to Rockstar Support but so far all of their troubleshooting has been completely unrelated to my issue as it requires me to have the launcher installed. Although I don't think that'll solve my issue as I am still getting the error when trying to install the launcher. So I've now uninstalled every Rockstar program I had installed, deleted all Rockstar folders I could find and I am currently reinstalling GTA V.

Please close down the Rockstar Games Launcher before running this installer. I went and downloaded the installer from the Rockstar website but when I try and run it, it says: So I verified the game files via Steam and it went through the first time setup and it got to the part where it installs the launcher and then I got the error again. Unable to locate Rockstar Games Launcher, please verify game data. When the new launcher came out I tried running GTA V through Steam and immediately got an error message that said:
