Need help with S3D install

FUBAR295 · 04-25-23, 07:35 PM

I have run into an issue and not sure how to get it resolved.

Have a new desk top with SSD and Windows 11. No problems getting several SH3 mega mods loaded and running, but S3D seems to be a problem child. I am migrating from Windows Vista and 11 has been an adventure.

I have followed all the instructions on installing S3D and have Net 2.0 and DirectX 9 loaded, but I get the following error during install :

Puzzled about why it cannot find the needed files.

Any ideas ?

I usually find solution by copy pasting the error in google.It might be best to reinstall windows...

though first try a quick reboot of PC

Re: Error 1001.InstallUtilLib.dll: Unknown error

fixed with windows reinstall......

See if Skwasjer's Post #1341 works for you

Thanks.

Attempted something similar with a complete uninstall and cleaned out the registry and a reboot, but I get the same error each an every time.

I'll try Skwasjer's remedy step by step and see what happens. If that does not work, I guess I will need to keep the old PC for modding, kind of defeats the purpose of the new PC except for the speed.

I really did not think getting this installed would be such a pain.

Googled ... already have done that a while ago, one of the first things.

Thanks !

Reinstall Windows

tempting, but no ... that is not going to happen. This is a brand new machine.

Have you tried updating windows to latest service pack?And also simply rebooting PC? Other than that I am out of ideas though I think you already tried these.

This is a brand new machine with Windows 11, and all the previous Window's version compatibility and SP's are included.

I tried to install as admin and as not, various Window's versions and SP's too but continue to receive the same error. Used every trick in the bag, but no joy. Everything else related to SH3 works without problems and was a quick and easy install. Frustrated by the insanity of doing the same things over and getting the same results.

This is the last piece of the puzzle for SH3 Nirvana.

I know how you feel! And if you do decide as a last resort to reinstall windows and it still doesn't work.....my next suggestion is a case of beer

This always works for me as then I am suffering so bad with a hangover that I laugh at the stuff that made me feel the need to drink the case in first place!

Good luck man!
