Reinstallation Problem

[catalan]

Hello everyone,

I reinstalled Silent Hunter for the fifth time now and I still can't get the update to work. I previously had JSGME and Spysat 1.4, which I removed before reinstalling the game.

When I execute the DVD 1.4b Patch (I have the DVD version), the operation cannot be completed due to either: (sometimes de_menu doesn't work, other times, it's MissionEngine that doesn't work, etc...)

- MissionEngine.dll, unknown version
- Campaign_RND.mis, unknown version
- de_menu.txt, unknown version

Could someone please help me to resolve this issue, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you in advance!

James

Hmmmm may be you have some residual files left over
Did you delete the SilentHunterIII folder completely ?
If not do so
If you get one of those messages ( usually the de_menu.txt ) then delete the de_menu.txt its talking about and carry on

Don't forget to delete the SH3 folder in your MyDocuments, when uninstalling the game.
And reboot...after uninstalling, after installing vanilla SH3, after applying the patch, after installing a supermod.

I suspect it is that nasty folder as stated above. Find it in MY DOCUMENTS labeled SH3...dump that puppy and start the installation over again. You have to get rid of the residue.

Remove sh3 from my documents , remove ubifolder after uninstall

Thanks for your replies so far.

Now, the 1.4b Patch is saying that my MissionEngine.dll is invalid.

How would you recommend me to proceed?

Thanks again,
James
