i did this and i've had no issues with starforce showing its face, in fact its not even installed and i've got the standard UK retail version.
another tip is to install SH3 into a folder that is not within program files as windows 7 places restrictions on the program files folders and makes life difficult for future modding (hence all the "run as administrator" stuff)

Just to point out: the official non-starforce version is more stable than the inofficial version you can find in the web. There is at least one CTD that does not happen in the offical version, but in the inoffical one (thanks, Privateer, for the information). Privateer once mentioned that some save game bugs might also be related to the inoffical version and from my personal experience I can confirm this. So, I think it's worth getting an official starforce-free version. The inoffical version should be removed and vanish. It's a shame that Ubi does not release a patch with these files for people owing the old starforce version and using the inofficial starforce-free version
