There is a known issue of non existent PlayGTA4.exe file. And GTA4 not downgrading to 1.0.4 overall.
The problem is a new 2.2 version of downgrader which works fine downgrading to 1.0.8 and 1.0.7 but not to 1.0.4
The solution is simple, on the gtaforums.com site where downgrader was originaly postetd there is an older version 1.7 of it, which downgrades your game to 1.0.4 perfectly.
(be aware the older version is in the "reveal hidden content" section)
To find the website either google GTA 4 downgrader or use the link:
there should be a newer version of fusionfix for the 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.8.0, it sucks that you can´t use the current fusionfix for the downgraded versions

it always does that. i had to put the exception in my virus detector. the mccafee hates this downgrader, it hate most exe files. in the beginning i was getting so mad wondering where my gta.exe kept going. you can get it back from the qurantined folder in your virus detector. don't worry this is safe and i have been using it for a while. i thought nexusmods would make it not get detected anymore but i was wrong.
thanks for adding this to nexusmods. i remember messing with gta 4 for a month and then i found your downgrader and it had all the mods i wanted to add and made it quick. it looks like you added even more mods that i use regularly like liberty legacy trainer. Rockstar should downgrade their game officially honestly, they obviously can do it without multilayer like you did.
