Simply unpack over the top of your current installation. The installation will not overwrite your SH3Cmdr.ini file, which is where all your career data and name information is stored. SH3 Commander sorts all this out automatically when it is first ran to ensure that you suffer no data loss. Also note that SH3Cmdr.dat is no longer needed - it has been replaced with SH3Cmdr_en.txt and SH3Cmdr_de.txt, the new language files.

Running with JSGME? SH3 Commander is not a mod per se, but a full add-on. There's no need to use in conjunction with JSGME. SH3 Commander has its own copy engine that manages the files it copies into SH3. Using with JSGME is really just wasting hard disk space and effectively putting a "wrapper around a wrapper". But, if that's how you want to run it, the same deal applies, but just disable your current installation of SH3 Commander first. Personally, I just install SH3 Commander to my C:\ drive and create an icon on my desktop. I run it whenever I want to run SH3. I know Beery, however, likes to install straight into his SH3 folder, which is equally as fine.
