Bernard needs HELP

[AVGWarhawk]

OK, Bernard wanted to uninstall SH3 that is modded only with GWX. DO NOT ASK WHY BERNARD WANTED TO UNINSTALL THE GAME!!! Save Bernard from more embarassment! Lets just say it happend after patrol #2:shifty:

Anyway, I cannot uninstall the game for a fresh install of SH3/patch/GWX. It basically stops and says something is wrong. I do not recall what it said. OK, with that said, I'm an idiot(Bernard) on this issue. Has anyone run into this and what was the solution. Any help would be appreciated because the land is too dry and I long for the sea:cry:

Hi mate! Just use the ADD/REMOVE programs in your control panel. This should work, i think..:up:

[bigboywooly]

If you cant uninstall using the add\remove just delete the SilentHunterIII folder
Insert DVD
Hit install
Hit repair

As the game is not uninstalled properly that should work
Never had to unistall game before
I always have 4 or 5 installs on and just delete the one I no longer want
Using the above method to add a new one

Alright men, add/remove in control panel shows error1316a network error windows sh3.msi.

I will attempt using the disk. Here goes nothing:up: :o

Try running windows in safe mode, and then remove the install..just my 2 cents..

[AVGWarhawk]

OK, I'll take your 2 cents because times is tuff!!!

What I did was file search the entire harddrive. Deleted all the things related to the game. I went to add/remove programs and clicked on remove. It asked to modify, repair, uninstall. This time I clicked on modify. She loaded off the disc. I was able to patch successfully. Now to install GWX and off I go. Thanks for the input gents. You guys never fail!

@AVGWarhawk

I would suggest the following course of action with respect to installations.

1. Install a clean version of SH3 in the C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3
2. Patch it to 1.4b
3. Copy the whole folder and paste it whenever you want the new installation to be. After that rename it to whatever you like. Let's say GWX.
4. Now put the multiSH3 into the GWX folder and run it. When asked put GWX as the default directory where your careers will be saved.
5. After all this install GWX in the GWX folder, make a shortcut to the desctop and you're ready to play.
6. Now you can install the SH3Cmd 2.7
7. After the installation is complete you right-click onto the desktop icon. You click on properties and where it say target you type "C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX. Now this is the example of my SH3Cmd that will check the files in the My Documents\GWX folder that is generated by the C\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX installation. After that this particular installation of SH3Cmd is linked to that installation of SH (GWX in this case).

I would suggest you do a different installation of SH3Cmd for each different installation of SH you have. That way you don't get the SH3Cmd confused and you don't mess up things.

Also I would suggest to leave the clean patched version of SH3 in the C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3 untouched as that way you can always copy it and paste it to add new mods. If you want to make new installations always copy and paste this folder and DO NOT USE the Installer of SH3 again (at least not for as long as the game is already installed)

Darn it! Where were you a few hours ago???:oops: She be gone, crew and career:cry: . The whole shabang. It felt like another patrol #2. Sadly, a few of my old crew owe me money from crap games between the sinkings:nope: . Thanks for the info. I'm making a copy of your post and keeping it safe in a folder for preview the next time I run into a snag:up: . Again, thanks!!!!!!

Since you're back in biz, I wanna join your club. Three deaths being the limit. So far, nothing but grrrs with my IXB career(s). :roll:

[AVGWarhawk]

Yes, it is pretty lowly here at the bottom:oops: . But hey, someone has to do it. Since I'm half brother to Bernard, they throw my name in the hat. See you at the bottom!
