GWX install error

[flag4]

trying to install GWX2 and am getting this


DEBUG: Test 1 PASSED
DEBUG: Test 2 PASSED Version is 1.4.0.1
DEBUG: Test 3 PASSED
DEBUG: Test 4 Seems to have PASSED IF Size is not Zero - Size is 2715193
DEBUG: Test 5 FAILED Size is 69322
DEBUG: Test 6 Seems to have PASSED IF Size is not Zero - Size is 1177801
At least one of the tests failed

could someone explain where i'm going wrong ?

cheers

It is saying that your install is not a clean patched SHIII installation. You need to either patch SHIII to 1.4 or uninstall a mod. Have you followed the installation instructions to the letter?

[danlisa]

Your basic.cfg file is not the stock 1.4b version, the size should be 69255.

Hope this helps.

thanks for getting you chaps.
sorry Danlisa i dont know what that means.
Tarjak i was patched to 1.4, dont know about mods - dont have any ?

what i have done is wipe sh3 et al, from my computer: sh3, sh3 commander, everything.

do you have a plan to deep clean sh3 away, are there hidden places i should check, for example, so there are no 'bits' left hidden.

thanks again

woot i was about to make a simlair thread.

i get this error msg:

DEBUG: Test 1 FAILED

i deinstalled sh3, erased the folder and the documents thing. my game crashes as soon as it enters the 3d enviroment.

@ flag4

It means that your basic.cfg file, that's located in ...SilentHunterIII > data > cfg...is NOT the version that shipped with Stock SH3 v1.4b. It has been modified or corrupted.

@ dize

Have you checked the GWX files with the MD5 Mate? Follow Tarjak's link.

Actually, from the installers report, it can't find any files to check. Did you re-install SH3 1.4b?

[dize]

ye i did clean install, plus le 1.4 patch. i try checking the md5 checksums now.

[Jimbuna]

Try performing the 'uninstall' operation from the SH3 disc in addition to what you've already done

[Javigato]

Maybe this should be on a different thread... but, is there a way to validate the integrity of a GWX 2.0 install? It appears that it all went well when I did it, and played some of the "school" exams... no problems... but I am always paranoid that something is not done properly and somehow missing some of the cool new things

[cruiser2132]

I hate to even add to this; I've DONE this properly before, even had the instructions printed out to follow. But I lost those, and I am obviously missing something in my uninstall. Maybe in the registry?I keep getting the 'cannot verify' message after I uninstall/ reinstall SH3, then try to start patching. If anyone would please post the link, or instructions on the complete uninstall, I would appreciate it. Sorry; I'm not really a moron; I'm just missing something.

I'm glad some one started this thread, I too am having a problem or two.

By mistake I went streight into Explorer and simply deleted all SH3 folders, then went to My Docs, deleted the SH3 folder there, then did a regedit, opened local machine, deleted SH3 from there, I trashed the SH3 short cut, then emptied recycle bin, then restarted computer.

Then reinserted store bought CD into drive, started install process, this seemed to work eventually, then I tried to patch the game, successfully installed patches 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 but patch 1.4b would not install because it doesnt recognise the previous SH3 install.

Aaaaaagh what do I do, tried to find a new copy of patch4b, then had to work out if I had emea vers or US, I think I have emea, downloaded 1.4b again but got the same mesaage

Can some one help me out

[danlisa]

Don't bother with the previous patches, go straight to 1.4b.

[bigboywooly]

@ Rascal

There is no patch 1.3
Tis really 1.4

Right click the exe in the Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII folder
That will tell you the version

@dize

Looks like the installer isnt seeing SH3 at all
What op system are you running ?

[dize]

im at win xp. i usualy have no probs with any game whatsoever. the game is gwx'ed for sure, since it say gwx in the intro etc, plus the museum has all the nifty ships init.

I'm using US DVD and uploaded the v1.4b patch on Ubisoft website:
http://www.ubi.com/US/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=1873
SH3 says that it's patched to v1.3 but I'm sure it's up to v1.4b (check the new features from the manual) and think there's a difference between the US release version number and the EMEA one.
GWX 2.0 loaded fine and I've checked all the features I can from the 2.0 manual.
