Just make sure its a clean installation and put it into a folder on its own. DO NOT allow it to instal in the designated C drive folder.
I put mine into its own folder in the D drive.
Runs perfectly. Here's how for W8
Clean install (own folder outside automatic folder designation by your PC)
Do not run the game
Run 1.4 patch
Do not run game
Set up JSGME
Do not run game
Set up SH Commander
Go for it Captain
Thats for DVD in the reader, for running without the DVD in the drive you will need to add the SH3 cracks in at the stage before 1.4 patch upgrade.
Sink em all.......

Hello John, sorry for jumping in. I have been following your suggestions to get SH3 loaded on my late 2013 macbook pro. I am currently running Windows 8 pro in it's own partion. My first attempt with the SH3 CD failed with the default directory for installation. I have created ANOTHER drive within the Windows 8 side of my computer, to not install in the default directory as you suggested. The installation will not allow the separate folder. I get an error: Specified folder is invalid,incomplete, or write protected. Please select a valid install path. I have played with the settings of this folder, to try and allow it to write to it, to no avail. Any suggestions from the community would be appreciated. Thanks to all for keeping this great game still active!
