Can`t uninstall?
 

Hello, I am new here and I have a problem, I am trying to uninstall Silent hunter 3, and well, I get an error message when its half way through, then I get a fatal error and the uninstaller closes! :down:
This what the error message says: Error 1316.A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C\Windows\Installer\Silent Hunter III.msi
then the fatal error where the uninstaller shuts down says: Error -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows installer help (msi.chm) for more information.

Please help!

Try re-installing the game again from the disc right over your current installation,carry out no other task while the installation is complete.Then reboot your system and try to uninstall again.
I am not sure what could have caused your uninstall error but the above procedure is the correct way to install and uninstall programs.You may be missing part of the main installation files or they may have become corrupt.
You could always try installing the latest Windows Installer to your system,this usually eliminates most installation problems.

Really though,removing SH3 from your system is unacceptable,this cannot be allowed to continue! ;)

Good luck.

Welcome aboard!
 

Try to boot your system,and use cd for uninstall...if this not work you can handle this by picking files to bin

So now I got the right picture..

If the above advice fails to resolve your issue, boot up your computer in SAFE MODE then uninstall (preferably via the game disc option).

Good point Jim,safe mode is your friend if all else fails.

Try ImageShack for your sig, you don't have to create an account and keep it in your account folder.

I am removing it for a clean installation to run GWX 3.0!

Well, I managed to get the re-installation done and GWX 3.0 installed but now its telling me that MOVIETEXT.ACT file is missing? Is this downloadable?

Did you go back after Unistall to C:\Programfiles\Ubisoft, and remove the Ubisoft folder ?

Then go to Documents and remove SH3 ?


THEN... When you reinstalled SH3 did you patch to 1.4 ?

Slow down and do it right. Good Luck :salute:

Yes it has been patched to the 1.4. But I didn`t delete the Ubisoft folder because I had other games in that file! But alls I am asking for is the MOVIETEXT.ACT download PM me if anyone has it.

Sorry I'm late getting back. I was on a patrol in GWX. :DL

In the Ubisoft folder is Silent Hunter III. You have to delete it after Uninstall.

GWX install demands it done a certain way.

If you do't do the install the way the GWX Manual says you will always have problems if an install at all. Sorry that's the way it is.

Btw I have the files to eliminate haveing to leave the SH3 CD in drive. And TWICE it BORKED the whole install about 3 or 4 patrols later.

You think I wasn't pissed. :haha:

Are you,just pissed?
 

After hard and pissed mission......:haha:
