CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying banlist.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Rockstar Games typically does not release Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing banlist.xml and all other XML files for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
