A new, improved, no-nonsense custom SH3 installer

[kz26]

After having to install SH3 numerous times on several computers that mostly had Vista installed, I became fed up with the various things I had to do - find the disc, run the installer, patch, copy protection issues, etc.

So I resorted to creating my own installer (compatible with both 32 and 64 bit), which installs a full SH3 1.4b from start to finish - no patching necessary or other hoops to jump through. It is literally ready to play after the installer completes.

Unfortunately, it does utilize the unmentionable to accomplish this ease-of-use, so I'm not going to say more about that. Anyway, I've been able to cut the time I spend on installing/reinstalling dramatically (1/3 the time). In all other aspects the game files are untouched, so full compatibility with mods (GWX hint hint) and add-ons is ensured.

I will not be distributing this publicly, so I guess this post is more of a demo. At the very least, it should alleviate many installation headaches on newer Vista/Windows 7 systems.
