The JSGME application uses a Mods folder where the mods are placed.
When JSGME is opened these are then shown disabled.
With TWOS this is already done for you in the download.

Thanks for your friendly words!
InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer is not working on Win7, "missing mscomctl.ocx", http://www.ocxdump.com/download-ocx-.../download.html into the same directory does not help. Registering the ocx with regsvr32 not possible.
So the process fails at that point here.

EDIT: I solved the cabfileviewer part by using an XP virtual machine which I often use. Now I have a non Steam sh5.exe which I will backup a thousand times

. And will go on with the process...

OMG, so much work, but I did it step by step for Wolves of Steel and it works now after the clickfest. Will backup copy the whole Steam SH5 and SH5 Documents folder now! Is it correct, Wolves of Steel shows up as "Open Horizons" in the main menu?
BTW I have it on an SSD and load times (campaign start) are ridiculous, like 2 minutes or so... Is this normal for SH5?

Would you like to share what you did so other Steam users can benefit.

I usually share information, but this will not help here: I used a virtual machine, i.e. a Windows XP emulation, so basically it is the same as using an XP computer for doing the cabfileviewer part and then copying the resulting sh5.exe over to the Win7 machine. Unfortunately I did not find another cab file extractor which works here with this data1.cab and windows 7. 7zip doesnt, expand (windows command) doesn't...

Hi k
So are you saying that this does not work?

The Cabinet file viewer does not start on Windows 7 and complains about a missing mscomctl.ocx.
Someone linked an ocx source, but if you put the ocx in the cab file viewer folder, the viewer still complains. So at that point we cannot get the sh5.exe. ocx from source of unknown trustworthyness is,,, a bad idea anyway.
For the cabinet file in question, I searched and did not yet find an easy to use cabfile extractor. Windows command "extract" does not work, 7zip doesnt, I tried an online service as well...

What an effort... Ppl just need the original UBIsoft sh5.exe, thats all... I remember in case of X3 (space sim) Egosoft company was friendly and uploaded a non-steam exe.

Hi,

It was a great post! I´m going through it but I cannot find the InstallShield Cab File Viewer in no ways on the web - it looks like a real rare good out there!

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Man! i cant thank you enough for this.
I was just about to uninstall SH5 for ever. Now im gonna give it a final try, hoping that once patched it becomes at least playable.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Berbster - fantastic and clear instructions. Thanks very much. I just did all this however and its looking good - until the save game loads up. Instant CTD.

Do I have to start a new campaign?

Do I have to re-install Wolves of Steel?

Hmm...edit.

Just started a new campaign. Instant CTD also.

No, if you are asking these 2 questions because of the ctd.

Quote:

What saved game are you referring to?
Do you mean the saved game in the bunker before starting the Baltic Operation?

I assume that you followed the TWOS installation instructions correctly including updating your game to v1.2?

Will one of the single missions load without a ctd?
