7. Patch to 1.2

9. Defrag the hard drive
10. Game on! |
1. Backup your MODS directory, then uninstall SH4
4. Also Empty Trash, then...
5. Instead of registry cleaning, Defrag your hard drive at #5 BEFORE you install to a fragmented drive. Your install will be naturally near-contiguious if you defrag first, and the install AND defrag itself it will both be faster if you defrag first.
You can defrag again right away if you are anal about it, but using JSGME guarantees that you will be very fragmented very quickly anyway. It is not a knock, just the reality of what it does.
8. Backup the new SH4 1.2 install if you have room, replace your MODS & JSGME, then reboot.
Cleaning the registry is not neccessary for a SH4 re-install. There is nothing of consequence in the registry as far as SH4 goes, it WILL be taken care of in the reinstall. Mucking around with this should be considered a seperate endeavor.
