Always rollback SH3commander before uninstalling SHIII
Otherwise old game files are loaded into your new install when starting next through SH3commander

Maybe it was just an perculiarity on my system, but now I'm ready for GWX 2.

Much better to uninstall EVERYTHING including SH3 Commander.
After you've deleted the lot, use the SH3 disk to perform a final 'uninstall' operation....you'd be suprised what it sometimes finds to remove.

Whooo boy. Uninstalled SHIII via the disk, deleted all the SHIII residual folders. Put the disk back in, but now I can't run install, setup, anything from the disk. If I try to run the SHIII installer, I get an error message :

"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package."

>gulp<

Never had this problem before. Naturally, when I went to the Ubisoft site, it was down......

ANy thoughts mates?

not being able to recognise one of my body parts from the other was the problem there.
