SH3 Dual Install - Please Help

[Werewolf]

Hello,

sorry if this question has been brought up before. I would like to make a dual install of SHIII on my computer, I have 2 harddrives so I want to use the second one for a second install, but every time I put in the CD and chose install it wants to install on the C drive, how the h.... do I get around this? Any help would be appreciated

rename your sh3 folder to something like SHIIIx
then insert the cd
press install

find where it says repair

and continue with that
it will install another copy
then you simply drag the new copy over on the second harddrive
that should work

Install of Multiple Versions

1)Complete a fresh install of SH3 + 1.4b as normal.
2)Create a copy of the program folder & rename as required.
3)Install your mod of choice to the renamed version.
4)Create and rename shortcuts as required.
5)Use MultiSH3 to create separate save locations for each install.

SH3 Commander & Multiple Installs

It is recommended to have a separate install of Commander for each different install of SH3.
1)Install SH3Commander and rename the program folder to suit.
2)Rename each SH3Cmdr shortcut as required.
3)You will need to use the l: switch to point SH3Cmdr to the right installation.

Here's an example of the l: switch for dual installs, just tailor it to fit.....

Right click on the SH3Cmdr shortcut & choose properties.

Target
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent HunterIII-GWX"

Start in
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX"

Copy your whole SHIII installation folder and rename it to what you like. Name it GWX or NYGM or wht ever you like. The SHIII.exe does not care in which folder it resides.

Take care not to mix up your careers. Dont use a NYGM career for GWX. But there is an elegant solution for that issue. Multi SHIII ! It patches the hardcoded Name for the folder in OwnDocuments(EigeneDateien)\SHIII\ to another 3letter name of your choice, for instance GWX NYG ABZ XYZ

You can Find the DL Link for MultiSHIII here just search for MULTISHIII.
