Hi, and welcome aboard; try deleting the file and see if the install will go ahead. You have patched the game to 1.4b, I assume.
What operating system are you using? If Vista, check the Vista install sticky.

I downloaded GWX 3.0 tonight, via torrent, and I also get this error under Windows 7 x64 (build 7100). The file (or directory) doesn't exist, so there is nothing to remove.

I have checked that c:\temp (my global temp area) has 'all users' with 'full control', so I don't think it's a permissions problem.

Cheers,
Andy

Just to clear this up :D

He didn't say he downloaded SH3! Just the GWX3 which is freeware :up:
Althought you are correct that pirating kills PC gaming

Other than my sharp eyes, cant help with the problem.

LOL! No - I bought SH3 on DVD in June 2006 - and I still had many problems installing it last night on Windows 7 x64 - so you are wrong on both counts! :woot:

Solved: Was anti-virus

I have solved my problem with installing GWX 3.0; It was Kaspersky Anti-Virus - I temporarily 'paused protection' and GWX 3.0 installs fine. I ran it as Administrator, as that was necessary to get the official patch to install correctly.

Cheers,
Andy
