One more question (sorry)

[polynike]

Im trying to make a new install of SH3 on my HDD in order to have GWX3, i have GWX2 running on my other install of SH£. When i run the setup from the CD i get the option to modify, repair or remove but not to make a fresh install. Can someone please help?

I want to install GWX3 but do not want to stop with my GWX2 games

Thanks

Rename your current SH3 install to anything besides SilentHunterIII. (Or whatever you named it during install) Run the setup, select 'Repair,' and you should have a new install when it's finished.

Now im getting error number 0x80040707 when trying to reinstall

Im running Vista but this hasnt been a problem until 15 minutes ago

This is a dll error usually associated with your DVD player.

Perform a registry clean and ensure you are logged as Administrator for the extra installation.

Thanks for the tips. I spent most of last night trawling the net for a fix and none worked, it seems that its a Vista problem. Reformat seems the way to go and i think im heading back to Xp

I can tell you how I did this. Install the game, -make a couple new folders and name them GWX 2.1 and GWX 3.0.

Copy everythibg from your your original SH3 folder to each new folder.

Run GWX 2.1/3.0 on these new folders.

You should now have 3 working Sh3 clients, one vanilla, one GWX 2.1 and one GWX 3.0.

And scrap that Vista crap.
