[flag4]

hi hunters

i've been searching but cant find a thread for sh3 uninstall - a complete clean out, all the hidy holes,
does any one know of one
cheers

[Penelope_Grey]

Yeah go to the control panel, use add and remove programs... find SH3 and follow the on screen instructions to whip everything out.

when it asks you to keep save data click no...

you may need to delete your main SH3 folder too in My programs.

Or do what Danlisa says.... :D

[danlisa]

Visit the GWX Homepage and look at the FAQ section. (below my sig)

Also, clear the registry. Enter regedit in the 'run' text box in the 'start' menue and delete the Ubisoft folders.

Not advisable if you have other Ubisoft titles on your PC.;)

My own little favourite is to perform the 'Uninstall' operation with the SH3 disc.......BE ADVISED.....on occasion it is sometimes the case that the 'Ubisoft' folder is actually left containing a few residual files.
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE ONE UBISOFT GAME INSTALLED IN YOUR MACHINE.....DELETE IT!! :arrgh!:

Okay then, just go into the Ubisoft folder and delete the SH3 folder :up:

Ok jim :up:

clarity !

( no offence, Jim :up: )

[Jimbuna]

None taken :up:

I hasten to add, the deletion process should only be carried out AFTER you have performed the usual uninstall process :up:

I have also found it extemely important to run a deframentation after any major changes. Deleting large numbers of files leaves a lot of residual crud.Thanks to the GWX developers for the best game yet!:rock: :rock: :rock:

Little thing I found out today, maybe it'll help somebody.

I completely uninstalled SH3 and all remenets there of to prepare for GWX 2.
After re-installing SH3, when I came to patch it up to 1.4 standard I encountered all kind of problems. No matter what I tried the patches all refused to install. After much head scratching I tried un-installing SH3 Commander as-well. After this I was able to patch SH3 up to 1.4 no problem.

Maybe it was just an perculiarity on my system, but now I'm ready for GWX 2.

[bigboywooly]

Always rollback SH3commander before uninstalling SHIII
Otherwise old game files are loaded into your new install when starting next through SH3commander

Much better to uninstall EVERYTHING including SH3 Commander.
After you've deleted the lot, use the SH3 disk to perform a final 'uninstall' operation....you'd be suprised what it sometimes finds to remove. :arrgh!:

Whooo boy. Uninstalled SHIII via the disk, deleted all the SHIII residual folders. Put the disk back in, but now I can't run install, setup, anything from the disk. If I try to run the SHIII installer, I get an error message :

"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package."

>gulp<

Never had this problem before. Naturally, when I went to the Ubisoft site, it was down......

ANy thoughts mates?
