SH 5 dvd CAN'T install

templarjack · 11-02-14, 09:23 PM

Good evening. I bought the steam version of SH 5 a few years ago but was disappointment when I found out that it does not support many of the mega mods for SH 5. So, several months ago I purchased SH5 again, this time the physical dvd version from amazon. I only got around to trying to install it tonight, however after inserting the disc, the install option in the menu is grayed out! What could the reason be for this and how do I fix it?

I would greatly appreciate any help! Thank you very much!

Thank you robmoore. I am still having this problem though. My Steam version is uninstalled, but if some files remain, how do I know that I have deleted everything regarding the Steam version?

Thank you for any help.

go to control panel and add remove programs or the uninstall application option. Check to see if silent hunter 5 is listed. if so uninstall.

check for silent hunter v folder on your c drive
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
and check you documents folder for a folder called SH5

delete them

Once again thank you. However I STILL can't install the game. The install option is greyed out. It seems that I have deleted all traces of the Steam version of SH5 but there must be some place that I have not looked. If this is the reason I can't install the game, then that is ridiculous. I really am at a loss here on what to do to allow myself to install the physical dvd version of the game.

have you tried from the disc auto play menu to click Uninstal?

Make sure you also look in the Program (x86) folder on your main drive.
