Ur comments on sh3/gwx install oddity

[warlimont]

just got a new fast puter.
running vista.
just got sh3 disk through the mail. bought in us.
installed to default folders ok and ran ok.

version on opening screen says "1.4"
just "1.4"
that's out of the box. not patched up by me.

when i tried the 1.4b dvd patch i ran into error msgs.
like: "C:\Program\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Menu\de_menu.tx t: unknown version"
and on.
so i quit trying.

inserted jsgme into root folder and ran ok.

copied entire silent hunter III folder to newly created "SH3 GWX" ok.
install multiSH3 there and created "GWX" save folder in vista "documents" ok.

but then:

GWX 2.0 didn't want to install into the "MOD" subfolder in the new "SH3 GWX" folder. Wrong version msg.

So i installed GWX straight into the root "Silent Hunter III" folder in the new copy SH GWX.
And it works fine. hmmmm.

Any ideas on whether you've encountered this before or whether you think i'm good to go as is? please let me know.

the "1.4" without the "b" does puzzle me.

thanks to all
