Lets start with the first issue.
To answer your question:
Both programs have seperate folders.
The Game (SH3) is located in the obvious "Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII" path, while Commander has its own path, namely "SH3 Commander".
Anything wrong with that setup?
Oh and then there`s something I read earlier on the Ubisoft forum about the SH3 Commander:
"Runyan, it does a lot of things. Some good, some unexpected. If you launch the game through it it will change your crew rankings to German from English. But there is one ehem, "negative effect". depending on your defintion of negaitve
It will make changes to the tonnage of merchant ships - for example a C2 goes from 6200 tons w/o the mod applied down to 4400 tons or so, a T3 goes down to 8800 from ~11,000 etc. Renown is unaffected.
You do NOT have to run the game through it and you can roll back the changes it made at anytime- just be aware that you'll prolly want to edit the merchant ship tonnage back up to defaults if you do launch the game through SH3Commander."
The entire postings can be found here:

Is this true? Or are these flaws (reduced tonnage values) corrected with the later versions of the SH3 commnder since this postings are from 2005!

1. The root of your problems are the game's install path. Never allow the game to install to it's default as doing so causes problems with applying mods, etc.
Make a path for it to install to, i.e. c:\sh3, etc.
2. That tonnage info. applied to an early version of Commander. The last one has an option box to check as to whether to use that feature or not.
