Most important is to NOT install the game inside the Program Files folder structure. Give it it's own place somwhere else on your harddrive. Windows 7 protects it from file modifications.

Win7 is a right pain with its file structure. If this doesnt work, you can get SH3 from Steam (which is what I did) and you will have no trouble installing as it goes in Steams own folder.

I understand that the early released versions of SH3 will not run on Win7 but the latter version dose

On the spine of the box it should read ESS632/D

Bar code 5 031366 016324

The latter version is the complete version all patched up.

I have an early version, starforced and unpatched, and following the W7 sticky was no problem, I even installed in Program Files and do not have any issues with SH3 and mods except my aiming!

I probably have UAC off which may have something to do with it.
