After having suffered several weeks' frustration in trying to install SHIII GWX/WAC into W7, I am pleased to say that I have finally succeeded in getting the modded SHIII up and running. In my case, the answer to my problem seems to have been applying the Vista 4Gb patch that comes with the WAC package. I had earlier applied this patch, but I mustn't have done it correctly, which error caused me to go off on a wild goose chase for a couple of weeks. Also, I think one has to install games in W7 using administrator's authorisation as well as running the game in Windows XP SP2 mode.
