GWX 3.0 install error

vulture42 · 04-11-09, 09:10 AM

Hiya!
I 'm not able to install GWX 3.0!
First I uninstalled GWX 2.0 and SH3.
Then I installed SH3 (its a Version the Patch 1.4b is included)
EXE Version reads 1.4.0.1
Now is during the install of GWX 3 I run into an error
Any Ideas?

Go into your SH3 folder and look for a MODS folder, if you see one delete it.

Also make sure you deleted the SH3 folder from your documents.

I recall having the same problem and it was the MODS folder

I'm on my mac so I can't post the path..

No Mods folder found...I deleted it during the deinstall. Install shows the same error

Sharkley · 04-11-09, 10:01 AM

ok uninstall SH3 again and look in the ubisoft folder for any SH3 bits left over.

There has to be something left over from the 1st install..

vulture42 · 04-11-09, 11:12 AM

Mhh I cecked the registry..nothing I deininst. it...all SH3 folders cleaned...nothing I guess its maybe the exe, because I don't have to patch, the patch is already included maybe the GWX installer can not use this one?

anyway to check to make sure your GWX 3.0 download is not corrupt

Sounds to me like your doing everything 100% correct.

Well, I have SH4 on the same HD...can this cause a problem?

No, I have 2 copies of SH3 and 1 single copy of SH4 all on the same HD

This is a strange one indeed, the reason I had the same error was bits and pieces being left behind from the previous install.

I am really puzzled by this

May try to install in a different (user created) directory ??

vulture42 · 04-11-09, 12:15 PM

bits and pieces > a folder? a file? a path? registry?

Sharkley · 04-11-09, 12:20 PM

I'm thinking files. I have never had to touch my registry.

vulture42 · 04-11-09, 12:28 PM

ok now I searched everything...nothing left I'll reinstall now.

Sharkley · 04-11-09, 12:49 PM

Got my fingers crossed for you.

Don't feel bad I am on my 3rd install of SH3 in 24 hours. I am having mod problems, and my game is freezing and/or crashing at loading screen.

Best of luck and keep us posted.

vulture42 · 04-12-09, 03:49 AM

Ok, now I tried to install the game. I used not my game pc, I used my laptop.
A clean XP SP3.
Looks like the install exe of gwx is not able to locate the bin files?!
I put the gwx 3 exe in the same folder like the bin 1-7 files? Any help?

Sharkley · 04-12-09, 06:05 AM

Try this version of GWX 3.0 Gold

http://www.bts-mods.com/tracker/click.php?id=78

No bin files, just a 1.4g .exe
