Hi Cm
The download link to the viewer is working, can you explain what you are missing.
A missing file can be found by Googling.

Can someone please PM me a download of the non-Steam sh5.exe file for v1.2 so I can install Wolves of Steel on my Steam SH5? Or an unpacked v1.2 patch file (so I can get the .exe from there myself)?

I've been banging my head against the wall for hours trying to get the InstallShield Cabinet File Viewer to work on my machine (and all of the other methods I could find recommended on forums) and for the life of me can't get it to work.

Your help would be appreciated!

*Update* After more searching, I finally managed to find on a Russian site the unpacked v1.2 patch file from where I could extract the non-Steam sh5.exe. Here is the site I used: http://www.playground.ru/files/patch...d_files-32291/

Whenever I would try to run the Viewer .exe file, I would get a message saying installation files are being prepared and the process would just freeze there. I tried running as administrator, in compatibility mode, and using all other recommended fixes. No luck. But, as I mentioned above in the "Update", the unpacked v1.2 patch file worked for me to get the non-Steam .exe.

Icon12 Alternative steps - starting at step 6

This method works beautifully. It uses the Install Shield Cabinet File Viewer
iscab.exe command line utility as an alternative to the iscabvu.exe file extraction method (assumed above).

Assume an initial directory structure as follows:
%Downloads%\InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer
%Downloads%\silent_hunter_5_1.02_eu
(where %Downloads% can be anything, any path)

CD to your "silent_hunter_5_1.02_eu\Disk1" directory

Run this command
=============
..\..\InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer\iscab data1.cab -i"allmyfiles.ini" -lx

Make a copy of allmyfiles.ini --> allmyfiles_edit.ini
delete everything in this file except for the following:

[ISCAB Info]
Product=ISCAB
Version=2.0

[Game]
File40="sh5.exe"

Run this command
===========
..\..\InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer\iscab data1.cab -i"allmyfiles_edit.ini" -x

You should find the file sh5.exe extracted in the current directory
Done.

Welcome to Subsim, Kajonas




All this is surely the best procedure for a Steam user to get the game running with his very personal mods, but keep in mind that if you're going to use the TWoS megamod (which contains the most known mods and is a huge collection, and therefore mostly recommended even for beginners) then, all this procedure is is *NO* longer necessary for TWoS 2.2.6 and later versions, the TWoS installation can be started with your game updated to 1.2.0 installed in Steam straight on without hassle, without acrobaties anymore. Only thing to do is to follow the install instructions carefully.


If you do install the newest TWoS, it's best to go offline during the install, shut down U-Play and shut down your anti-virus in order for them not to interfere. This will save you a lot of trouble later...
