Gwx Installation Problem Under Windows Vista

Von Manteuffel · 02-23-07, 09:34 AM

I've enjoyed SH3 for a long time on my desk-top machine and have spent many happy hours with GWX which I downloaded and installed immediately it was available. It's superb!
Just taken delivery of a new Dell XPS M1710, which comes with Windows Vista. Wanting to be able to enjoy my favourite game when I'm away from home, I installed SH3 from my retail DVD on to the new laptop and downloaded and installed the silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea patch ( it said successfully). I copied the GWX zip files from where I'd saved them on my desktop, via removable hard-drive, to the new machine and unzipped them.
That done - as with the desktop, I ran GWX.exe to install Grey Wolves and received an error message which said that my version of SH3 was not properly patched to version 1.04b.

I also received the following, which appeared on the desktop of the new machine:

"GWXInstErr.Notepad

Verification of "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII" by The Grey Wolves Expansion failed.
Test 1 = PASSED
Test 2 = PASSED
Test 3 = FAILED - 1.0.0.1
Test 4 = PASSED
Test 5 = PASSED"

I've uninstalled and re-installed everything several times with the same result. Help, please. I'm getting desperate and am facing a fairly lengthy business trip away. I can't bear the thought of those hotel rooms without GWX.

Thank you
