Steam

I'm back. It's been awhile.

Anyway, I loaded up an old computer and I'll be darned if there isn't an SH3 with GWX installed on it. But, the computer is old and slow. So, I bought a new copy on Steam and I'm ready to rock and roll.

Except that I cannot get GWX to install. So, I downloaded the Steam-Fix but it looks like it wants me to tell it where the SH3 has been installed, and I don't know. How can I figure this information out? I went through Program Files looking for UbiSoft, but I cannot find it.

Always helpful for sure.

The answer is, I channeled my old DOS days and ran cmd.

Then I typed in:

cd \
dir silent*.* /s

and I found it at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

Then I copied the Silent Hunter 3 directory to c:\
And ran the fix on the copied directory
then I installed GWX with no issues.
