Ask for a question about the TWOS installation

[Marson]

In the process of installing TWOS, it appears that "sh5.exe" is being used by another process, and then it is wrong.
My sh5 is the steam version, and then in accordance with the TWOS installation tutorial to the "Silent Hunter 5" the read-only property of the folder, but find a problem, after the read-only property is canceled, then open to read, read-only has been automatically selected by the system, how can this error be eliminated? When I install TWOS, I also shut down uplay and steam.
My computer system is windows7, My computer system is already an administrator...and I haven't worked for half a day.
Can you ask you for a moment? Be deeply grateful!

Hmmm. Indeed weird.

Have you checked the task manager for lazy steam-related programs?

When I installed via steam, I didn't have this issue. However, i am using win10. I also had deactivated the read-only.

It was checked in the task manager before installing TWOS, and there was no steam and uplay processes, but when the TWOS was installed, there would still be a "sh5.exe" used by another process and the wrong hint, so I thought it was not because I could not cancel "read-only".

Have you attempted restarting your pc and then installing twos?

Turn off steam on startup option too.

I know, a dumb question.


I am trying to remember how it was for me. I did have to reinstall a few times until twos actually worked.

It has tried to restart the computer and install TWOS, but the result is not good enough to prompt the same mistake.

Hmm. Maybe you could get the program called procress explorer.

I did some googling. Maybe this site can help?

I'd also suggest to get process explorer from a safe site. It is like taskmanager, but shows way more info. And iirc, it also can show you what is accessing what files.

My other suggestion would be to temorarily deactivate antivirus. Though I don't think that's still a thing.

As a matter of interest Ubisoft use 3 different SH5.exe depending on the installation.

The problem has been solved, it seems that the problem of anti-virus software, I can not understand. It was reinstalled many times, and finally it was successful！

Yes, that's right. But when installing TWOS, the anti-virus software did not hint to isolate any files, so I do not understand it now.

Hi Marson

did not hint to isolate any files, so I do not understand it now.

What can happen is when you go to load the SH5.exe to start the game the anti-virus program puts a block on it.

Different anti-virus programs can handle installs differently from each other.
Any program that has an exe application maybe treated suspiciously and need to be made an exception of.

With TWOS using the Windows Installer none of the downloads to be installed carry a signature.
This is then treated suspiciously by the anti-virus program which may decide to make you wait while it is being investigated.
On the other hand you may just get a warning and manually have to tell the program the program to run.

Eset/NOD and their support are true rubbish. I reported false positive detection days ago but unlike other vendors who have replied within a day and updated their databases almost immediately (Avast, Avira, AVG, Symantec/Northon, Kaspersky, Sophos, Bitdefender, Microsoft and many others), Eset mob did not even bother to reply to my mails...

There is this to consider:
Advanced anti-virus programs like Kaspersky Internet Security etc. may throw out alarm if files are changed by another program (like the case of TDW Patch for sh5.exe). In most of these occurences the anti-virus will ask the user to allow or refute, but not all of them: some anti-virus will put the file in quarantine without asking user.


This means the player will try to install TWoS and wonder why the game doesn't start or why it starts and shows grafic errors etc. There is no executable anymore or the old NON-PATCHED one only, because anti-virus has taken it away or STOPPED the patch of TDW Patch. TDW Patch has therefore failed!


I highly advice to include in the TWoS installation instructions telling the player to DEACTIVATE / PAUSE PROTECTION temporarily the anti-virus during installation. I guess most ranting posts about grafic errors, no text in game, etc. are due because of this problem: sh5.exe has not been patched, but the player believes it because he has followed exactly the instructions..
