Just taken delivery of a new Dell XPS M1710, which comes with Windows Vista. Wanting to be able to enjoy my favourite game when I'm away from home, I installed SH3 from my retail DVD on to the new laptop and downloaded and installed the silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea patch ( it said successfully). I copied the GWX zip files from where I'd saved them on my desktop, via removable hard-drive, to the new machine and unzipped them.
That done - as with the desktop, I ran GWX.exe to install Grey Wolves and received an error message which said that my version of SH3 was not properly patched to version 1.04b.
I also received the following, which appeared on the desktop of the new machine:
"GWXInstErr.Notepad
Verification of "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII" by The Grey Wolves Expansion failed.
Test 1 = PASSED
Test 2 = PASSED
Test 3 = FAILED - 1.0.0.1
Test 4 = PASSED
Test 5 = PASSED"
I've uninstalled and re-installed everything several times with the same result. Help, please. I'm getting desperate and am facing a fairly lengthy business trip away. I can't bear the thought of those hotel rooms without GWX.
Thank you

The error log is suggesting that C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII does NOT contain a patched copy of SH3. 1.0.0.1 is the original version of SH3. SH3 v1.4b would show as 1.4.0.1.
Are you sure you patched
this installation? When you run this installation does it say "1.4b" on the bottom right of the main screen?
