Install Problem & more

First up I am asking this question on behalf of a friend so I better give you some background info.

He was running SH3 stock with SH3C and a few mods and tried the XXI U-Boat 1939 mod and that was the start of his problems. What happen was after un-installing this mod it screwed up his watch towers Type 7 U-Boat with a Type 2 tower result CTD. Any how he un-installed the game and all the mods and deleted the SH3 folder and ran Ccleaner.

OK fresh install out side the Programs x86 folder on his Win8.1 and two problems came up, the first it would not install any where than this path C:\User\Dave\Program\Silent Hunter 3\SH3 yes my friend did create this path so why will it not go any where else? He created a new path C:\Games\SH3 Game\Program\Silent Hunter 3\SH3 but it will not have it! OK so he went along with the old install path and right at the end of install he got 1628 Error can not install message.

And now it gets even more strange SH3 is installed and he created a short cut SH3 icon from the folder on his desktop because after installing the SH3 icon vanished followed by the error message. Any way after playing a couple of patrols the Type 2 watch tower problem is back!

I hope you understand the above problem and can help out so I can pass on any suggestions.

Thanks.
