Removing multiple copies of SH3

AngusJS · 11-12-08, 10:22 AM

I used multiSH3 to make two installations - one vanilla and one with GWX 1.4. I would like to get rid of the vanilla installation.

I have made it to early '44 playing more or less DiD, so I want to be sure that I won't affect my GWX copy before I proceed.

Do I use Add/Remove programs? Do I uninstall using the splash screen menu? Or do I manually delete the folder from Program Files?

Thanks

I do know you shouldn't use the 'Add/Remove Programs' as that will also remove important registry entries and file dependencies that will break your second SH3 installation where you have GWX.

You should have named both installations separately....YES :hmm:

If so, use the game disk and choose the uninstall option.

Don't forget to delete the folder in C\MyDocs you stored the saves in (I presume your vanilla installation was called SH3).
