I had zero troubles loading the game and lots of mods on the old one, with this one I am having trouble just getting the game installed. I went through the tutorials step by step and here is my problem. On Post #5 of the tutorials I have named my folder SilentHunterIII. In your picture of your SHIII folder you show subfolders of data, documentation and support. My SilentHunterIII folder has none of those sub folders. But I choose my SilentHunterIII folder and click "ok", this is at picture 5 in the installation tutorial. Immediately I get an this error message

You have selected this path
D:\SilentHunterIII\
No valid SH3.EXE found in this folder.

Can someone please guide me to where I am making my mistake.
I have tried using the free download manager to speed things up and then move SH3 to my folder, and I have tried downloading straight to my folder. Neither way makes any difference, I always get this same error message at this stage of the installation. I'm at a loss as to where my SH3.EXE is located.
I forgot to add that I am downloading the game from LSH3 2015 and have tried both the full and the split downloads.

Hi PapaSmurf

If you do not have any subfolder in the SH3 folder you have not properly installed the game....LSH3 not install ...any mod none can be installed because there is not the game

Hey guys!

Its been a long time since i've been on here and was wondering on the progress of 2017 version? When I was on last I saw some talk about it not being finished or scraping it all together anyone have any word on this?

Thanks

Cannot install
 
Herr Kaleuns,

After spending 2 frustrating evenings trying to get this MegaMod to install, I decided to reach out for some help.

My system is running Windows 10 Professional 64 bit. Meets all the requirements for the game and then some.

I was playing SHIII with the GWX Gold Megamod (modded) a few years ago but ended up moving on to some other simming. After reading about LSH 2015 I decided it was time to revisit this sim that I had enjoyed so much in the past.

I went through the tutorials THEBERBSTER has put together (Thank you for your effort - much appreciated!) in order to prep my computer for the sim and also how to install the mod properly. I followed all steps exactly.

I downloaded the multi-part files installation method using the download manager that was recommended in the tutorials. I checked to make sure the size of the files were correct after downloading.

When I run the multi-part installer exe file (as administrator) I get to the opening screen where I select my language, after selection of the language, it goes to the page where it outlines the system requirements (mine are sufficient), then when I click OK, I get the following message: "Unable to locate packed archive".

I am installing the original game from a non-StarForce Dvd that also has the 1.4b patch. When installing from the Dvd the only thing I did not allow to be installed was the "Game Shadow" feature. Just seemed to be silly to me to allow that feature to be installed on a sim/game that in its original form is pretty long in the tooth, so to speak.

I have the location that I re-installed SHIII to and the folders that I downloaded the multi-part files to on the same drive, in this case D.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Scott

Hi scott
Have you put all 9 files into the same folder in D: ?

THEBERBSTER 03-23-17 05:38 AM

Hi scott
It is important that all the files are in a new folder before starting the LSH3-2015 installation.
In the tutorial it is called LSH3Split.
It is also important to uninstall your previous SH3 installation and then use a registry cleaner before re-booting and re-installing.
It is a good idea to make at least 1 game copy from the installation so you do not need to use the dvd again.
You can run 1 other SH3 game without using multi SH3 as LSH3 does not use the SH3 saved games folder.

Hauangua and the Theberbster, thank you for your replies.

Everything you mentioned in your replies to my problem, had been done before I posted about it.

Hi Scott
you no solved again?

flugkapitan 03-23-17 12:15 PM

No, haven't tried again - really no point in it as I've installed/uninstalled at least a dozen times trying to get things to work.

Wish I hadn't completely deleted my GWX Gold (modded) install too.

Probably just going to give up - invested way too much time installing/trouble shooting the past two nights.

I really do appreciate you and Theberbster trying to assist me!

Regards,
Scott

Scott... can you make screenshot of your game folder ( open)
and your Jsgme folder?...PS... I no remember.. you use Multish3..right?..wait before uninstall!!!!

flugkapitan 03-23-17 01:03 PM

I uninstalled JSGME when I uninstalled SHIII in preparation of installing LSH

I didn't reinstall JSGME after deleting everything since it comes bundles with LSH.

Thanks again,
Scott
