SH3 CD problem NEED HELP!
 

I uninstalled SH3 and now when I wanna install it again and i put in the CD it just "opens" the CD and shows what it contains! So now i cant install it! I tryed it on my other computer and it worked but the computer is too crappy to run the game. I have been whitout SH3 for 2 days now and I'm dying! Please help!

Run setup.exe.

That doesn't work either

Is there an error message? What exactly happens when you start setup.exe?

It says something like H:\setup.exe is not a walid Win32 application or something

Do you have any problems with other cd's or just this one?

This could have different causes. Try some of the following:

Reboot your PC, then try it again.

Delete everything that´s in \Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\temp.

Delete the DVD drive from the Hardware Manager, reboot, then XP redetects the drive, perhaps it works after that.

Try another CD/DVD.

Remove Starforce:

No, all other CD's work just fine.

I wanted to mention that (Starf....). But i thought it's a taboo subject around here?

Are you 32 or 64bit system?

We had dozens of people with SF-related problems here in the past, we try and help every one of them. The only thing that´s taboo is to inform people how to circumvent SF or other copy protections.

I have no idea.

Click Start/Run, type winver and press Enter to find out which version of Windows you have.

It says it's version 5.1

I tryed what you said but it still won't work!

Try this:

Go to Start/Control Panel, and double-click on Folder Options.
Now go to the 3rd tab - "File Types"....on my system (XP-Pro SP2 v5.1), near the top of the list, is an entry that looks like (NONE) - DVD, (listed under Extensions - File Types).
Highlight it, and see what you can change under the Advanced-button below.

Not sure if this will help you, as I never touched those settings myself.
I think that you once made a mistake after inserting a dvd: like checking "always perform this action" at the popup menu that you got back then, and you picked "Open in Windows Explorer"?

Anyway, maybe I'm pointing you into the right direction to find a fix.

isnt sh3 a dvd?

Yes

Paajtor i tryed the folder options thing like you told me to but i couldn't change anything in the advanced options thing. My computer sucks.

Ok...
Insert the SH3 dvd, and find the file called SH3Autorun.exe in Windows Explorer...double-click it.
