Default Help! with installing GWX 3.0

I recently got SH3 (a few years late I know) and after all the rave reviews I downloaded Grey Wolves.

When I try to install, I get an error message saying "modded files detected" and I can't install.

I am installing 1.4b off of Steam. I don't have any mods installed. I deleted everything related to SH3 and tried another install, but I get the same message when I try to install GWX3.0.

Any ideas how I can get it to work? I don't have any modded files, unless Steam provides modded files!

Ensure you have deleted the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs and perform a registry clean.

There are also comprehensive installation instructions available at the GWX website (click on my sig).

Well, I've done a clean reinstall, and deleted those folders, but still get the "modded files" error.

ARRRRRGH!!! There are no modded files!

How do I do a registry clean? (Win7/64)

Steam places the SH3 files in a different directory, usually under Steam/steamapps/common or the like.

Make sure you are pointing the GWX installer at the right file.

For future reference, crapcleaner is a free app:

I use regvac which is not free but they do a offer a free trial version:

Why not use one of the 4 patches provided by SubSim Downloads ?

One of the 4 patches will work with your SH3 Ver. Unless it's already PrePatched.

This took far, far too long for me to solve. Now to get out there and redeem myself.
