I'm not sure if this/these is/are what's happening or not.

Have you had a prior install of SH3 at all? If so, you have to assure that everything has been removed.

Have you made copies of the installation? I've noticed that if I installed SH3 then copied the entire directory over to a second one that GWX would give me the mod already installed errors for the copied directories but would work fine on the original-install directory.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to Subsim.

Did you by any chance purchase the game through 'Steam' ?

If you did, then this thread may help you ........ http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...+%26amp%3B+gwx

If you click on my sig you will be taken to the GWX official website where there are installation instructions.

With SHIII there a lot of hiddenn files. If you have played one game of SHIII THERE COULD BE HIDDEN FILES YOU CAN'T FIND. ALL THESE FILES MUST BE DELETED PRIOR TO relloading SHIII. I Use a application delet program.

Also in your documents folder is a file called SHIII which you must also delete.

Hope this helps.

Just find where steam stuck the game and point the installer there instead.
