Default The Grey Wolves Expansion 3.0 Setup help meeee pleeze..

hi guys im just wondered if you could help me im trying to install the The Grey Wolves Expansion 3.0 gold for this awesome game but i am having major problems. Im running windows 7 the game works fine its a legal download from direct2drive website ive done a fresh install and downloaded the eight required GWX3 files into a chosen folder but every time i get to a certain point in the installation the following pops up C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII/data/Sea/NBC_GrafSpee/NBC_GrafSpee.dat
An error occurred while trying to copy file.
The source file is corrupted.
it then proceeds to roll back and wont install i was wondering if this particular file was in GWX3-1 or GWX3-2 etc as i could then just download it again or is the problem something else please help me ive been trawling the internet but can only find the same problem on a hungarian fan forum but the translation aint that hot lol.....all help would be welcome thanks in advance.....:]

Unfortunately there have been reports of corrupt files from the above and as such I have the only set of shareable original files (others have copies of course).

Did you get the eight files from the GWX website?

If so, delete them and get them from the link above my sig....there is also a link for a torrent to the single file exe if you prefer.

If the above is the case, follow the instructions for installation found on the website, not forgetting to perform a registry clean using the free trial version of regvac (http://www.regvac.com/fregvac.htm ) after the initial installation (including the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs).

Welcome Kaleun

Download it from Jimbuna's FF page. The one on the GWX web site has a corrupted file. Just find a post by jimbuna, the link to his FF account is in his signature.



Beat me to it Jim.

Don't forget to use the Tool MS5 or something like that to check each bin file or files. It's on Jims list of those Downloads.

I've got to say I Burned Jims GWX Download to DVD years ago and it has worked everytime.

To Jim

I posted this on an exact problem to use that Tool to check the files and nobody responded.

I expect nobody will again.
