Dusted off the CD now having troubles
 

Greetings gang. I'm glad and impressed that the SH3 community is still rolling along.

I have a new computer since I played SH3 a couple years back and I'm having trouble getting things up and running. I am now running Windows 7 64 bit. I've been reading the other Win7 posts but it doesnt seem they refer to CD installs. I'm assuming I cannot change the setup.exe properties on the disk.

I installed from the CD which appears to be version 1.0 according to the label. (How can I confirm this in game?) I installed to the folder listed below. The game seems to work fine at this point. But when I try to install the 1.4 patch I get this error...

This program cannot update the installed version of SH3 US DVD v 1.0 to 1.3 because of the following reason. D:\ubisoft\silenthunterlll\MissionEngine.dll:unkno wn version.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

Dam Sorry Nevermind 1.4 was what was on the disk. Now I'll see if I can install the mods properly.

Thanks anyway

Not the first time it's happened, just be happy the solution was that simple! :DL

Good hunting, Herr Kaleun!

Sorry to revive this thread, but how did you find out you had the 1.4b on the disk ??

I am having the same issue and can't find anything anywhere describing I am currently running 1.4b.

Thanks.

Right-click on the SH3.exe file (in the game's base-folder), and look in the details tab. It has the version number there. It doesn't allways work for other applications but Ubi got it right. :up:

Or right click on the SH3 .exe icon and select properties then the version tab.

Even quicker hover your cursor over the .exe and the information will appear in a text box.
