Can someone help me out?

I can only repeat what I posted and support previous advice....if you don't have a stock SH3 folder, temporarily rename the folder with the GWX installation then reinstall SH3.

If you want further copies, rename the original a, b, c etc.

Jim, your way would be the fastest. But I am pretty sure the installation routine will still find the registry entries of the first install and will say "you already have SH3 installed"

If that is the case?
Copy the GWX installed folder and move it somewhere.
Copy the SH3 folder in My Docs and do the same.
Uninstall SH3 as you would for a clean install.
Re-install.
You now have a clean install AND a GWX still installed.
Use Multi-SH3 to use everything after proper renameing and moving of the folders.

I suggest useing SquareSteelBar's un-installers.
Saves alot of work!

As so many people want to re-install without losing and doing all the work for the different mods?

Maybe he could look into adding a feature to do the copy and save part?

I'd see that as a fantastic tool for all the new uses who run into this problem!

May I add some experiences?

I once prepared a vanilla version as I wanted it, without the videos, without the not needed language (10'000+ files) etc. Then I zipped it into a selfextracting .zip file using 7zip. That takes less than 1 GB of space.

Whenever I need a fresh SH3 to start from, I use that file and within a couple of minutes I am finished. No disc needed. No install routine...

I've never installed SH3 on this NoteBook.
I'll copy my GWX install from the old DeskTop and just paste it to the NoteBook without doing an install.

Never tried it that way before.
