A stupid accident cause me to uninstall SH 3 GWX 1.03 from my pc. Reinstalling should be an easy job, right? Wrong:oops:
First try, after I installed stock SH3 I tried to install GWX, but couldn't do it cause I forgot to install patch 1.4 first:damn: I then tried to install patch 1.4,. but got a message telling me that some file is not recognized. So I uninstall again, thinking that there might be something wrng when I installed it. But when the unsintall was in progress I remember that the cause may be because I forgot to remove all the SH3 files. So after unisntall, I went to /mydocuments and removed SH3 folder from there.
Second try, I install again. Then afterward I tried patch 1.4 ... again it didn't work. I tried all the versions, DVD EMEA, US, downloads EMEA, US none worked. So, I uninstall again:damn: Then I remember to look for hidden SH3 files. I found some files in programfiles/user or something, can't remember the directory and removed the files.
Third try, I install SH3 again. This time thing worked smoothly until the installation progress bar was full and there's a message saying something like "removing backup files" then it sorta stop. It didn't go to "Gameshadow" installation. The computer didn't "hang" but the installation progress just stop. Waited for 5 minutes then I ended the program. Tried to unistall again through programfiles/ubi/sh3/uninstall but I got a message saying that installation wasn't complete. So I removed it manually. Then tried to install it again.
It stopped again when the progress bar was full just like before :damn: The difference was, after 10 minutes of no progress, this time I tried to run SH3 when the installation process was still runnig. After a messaage saying about something is wrong, the programm ran. I went as far as the command room then I exited the game. When I exieted the progress bar was still at the same position.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong here? Is my dvd damaged?
Thanks in advance,
edit: I have one career saved (had another 100 K patrol before this and hate to loose it:D ), but it's in different drive (D: while the SH3 is in C:, does it matter? Should I removed it?
