Well, the readme/help file does state "To install, simply unzip SH3 Commander to a folder of your choice, including the Silent Hunter III install folder if you desire.", which, in simplistic terms, is all that is required (in fact, it was consciously decided not to be too descriptive in order to avoid confusion). However, I take your point and will speak to Beery about making it more specific and informative.

Yup. For example, I have two installs. One under C:\Games\SH3 Commander (my Silent Hunter III installation is C:\Games\SilentHunterIII) and one buried deep in my application development folders. Both access the default installation of SH3 (I believe there may be a problem with multiple installs of SH3, but no-one has been able to yet provide me with the specific details). To make it even easier for myself, I have created a shortcut on my desktop. I just insert the SH3 DVD, doubleclick the shortcut and I'm away!

Apologies for any confusion.
