Just an idea: If your harddrive or folder is write-protected, then the mod will or not install correctly or not play out correctly. You must have total computer privileges on your computer. Try starting the game with Admin rights, set the game shortcut accordingly. This will however not work if your game folder is write-protected.


What I would try with the Steam version - and which will probably not work (a reason why I don't buy games on Steam that need modding) is: Once you have installed the stock game in Steam, copy all game files from the Steam game folder into another - free accessible - folder. When starting the TWOS install, point to that folder. After the install, copy back all files in the Steam folder and create a shortcut with SH5.exe that you start with Admin Rights.


This will likely not work for DRM reasons, but worth to try anyway. All I can say is: I have heard from Steam game owners that it is POSSIBLE to play TWOS with the Steam version of the game, so hopefully some of these players will join in here !


Then another tip: If you legally own a game or software, you can use any means you deem useful to make that game or software working, the reason you did buy it in the first place. This can be done.
