Found a solution to fix the 4-5-2017 GTA5 update and restore Mod and Script Hook V functionality
Let Steam update your game and when finished replace the GTA5.exe with the previous one prior to the update.
If you are using Windows 7 right click on the GTA5.exe and choose "Restore previous versions".
Since I deactivated the my "Restore previous versions" function, I had a friend send me the file after I asked him to get the file from his "Restore previous versions"
Here is what I did:
System: Window 7 64 bit edition.
First Installed GTA5: March 30, 2017
I ran the game this morning using the desktop shortcut Steam originally created on my desktop and it started to automatically update.
After the update, I ran the game again using the same desktop shortcut. Within about 10 seconds Script Hook V presented an error dial box and the game did not load.
I then had to stop the GTA.exe and GTAVLauncher.exe process using Task Maneger.
Next, I replaced the GTA5.exe with the previous one prior to the update and it worked fine. No prompts for reactivation.
The old GTA.exe file "you want" prior to the update is Product version 1.0.1011.1. The file size on disk is 56.8 MB (59,604,992 bytes)
The "updated" GTA.exe file that breaks Script Hook V and the mods is Product version 1.0.1032.1. The file size on disk is 56.6 MB (59,387,904 bytes).
You can see the file version by right clicking on the GTA5.exe file and choosing Properties and then select the "Details" tab.
The GTAVLauncher.exe file was not replaced during the update.
Hope this helps
