GWX 3.0 install error
 

Hiya!
I 'm not able to install GWX 3.0!
First I uninstalled GWX 2.0 and SH3.
Then I installed SH3 (its a Version the Patch 1.4b is included)
EXE Version reads 1.4.0.1
Now is during the install of GWX 3 I run into an error
Any Ideas?

Go into your SH3 folder and look for a MODS folder, if you see one delete it.

Also make sure you deleted the SH3 folder from your documents.

I recall having the same problem and it was the MODS folder

I'm on my mac so I can't post the path..

No Mods folder found...I deleted it during the deinstall. Install shows the same error

ok uninstall SH3 again and look in the ubisoft folder for any SH3 bits left over.

There has to be something left over from the 1st install..:hmmm:

Mhh I cecked the registry..nothing I deininst. it...all SH3 folders cleaned...nothing I guess its maybe the exe, because I don't have to patch, the patch is already included maybe the GWX installer can not use this one?

anyway to check to make sure your GWX 3.0 download is not corrupt

Sounds to me like your doing everything 100% correct.:hmmm:

Well, I have SH4 on the same HD...can this cause a problem?

No, I have 2 copies of SH3 and 1 single copy of SH4 all on the same HD

This is a strange one indeed, the reason I had the same error was bits and pieces being left behind from the previous install.

I am really puzzled by this :hmmm:

May try to install in a different (user created) directory ??

bits and pieces > a folder? a file? a path? registry?

I'm thinking files. I have never had to touch my registry.

ok now I searched everything...nothing left I'll reinstall now.

Got my fingers crossed for you.

Don't feel bad I am on my 3rd install of SH3 in 24 hours. I am having mod problems, and my game is freezing and/or crashing at loading screen.

Best of luck and keep us posted.

Ok, now I tried to install the game. I used not my game pc, I used my laptop.
A clean XP SP3.
Looks like the install exe of gwx is not able to locate the bin files?!
I put the gwx 3 exe in the same folder like the bin 1-7 files? Any help?

Try this version of GWX 3.0 Gold

No bin files, just a 1.4g .exe

not quite the right link this one will take you there...

:salute:

Rough night at Langtrees Ha woke up next to worst Lol

Oops, so sorry.

Thanks for the fixed link :salute:

Hi vulture42,

looks like one or more of the .bin files is/are corrupted. I recommend a redownload of all files [.bin & .exe] and thereafter do a md5 check.

Hi,
ok here is the result:
I downloades the GWX_full.exe (1,4 GB)
I downloaded it twice on both machines (Laptop and PC)
Same error on both machines....
The original sh3.exe (after the install) has a size of 1.331.200 Bytes
I use a retail version (already patched 1.4b). Maybe GWX can not work with this one?
Can maybe someone check it or send me the patched 1,4b exe so I can run a test with this one?

I got always issues with that single file installer -> wrong md5 checksum.
Did you do a md5 check? The checksum has to be:

d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

Ok, I 'll check it this evening!

What the best md5 check programm?
I found a few via google...?
