It's worth emphasizing that during each stage of the installation - patching, installing the mod enabler, etc. - you have to right click and "run as administrator" or else no changes will be made to the game's root folder.

I had the darndest time figuring out why the mod enabler would not create a mod folder when I ran it for the first time. Then I sat there and had a little think. :hmm: Remarkable how many probelms get solved by doing that, as opposed to randomly clicking and alternately bashing the desk like an over-caffeinated monkey.
Thanks Skubber. this did the trick for me.

After numerous attempts to install on my new computer, I'd get as far as an upgraded SH3 vanilla, but the GWX would not install.

I was right on the verge of giving up when I read your post. Okay, one more try. Deleted everything and started over, THIS TIME, doing the right click thing and running as administrator.

That was the charm!

GWX installed and the game loaded up without a hitch. Now I just have to install SH3 Commander and I'm ready to go.

You made my day!

Thanks!!
