FOTRS will not activate - Please help!

Guys, it is working...and it is wonderful !

I am sure that I will have some stupid questions to ask as we go forward (I was just about to ask why the external views weren’t working...until I realised I had to ‘tick the box’ - DOH!) but right now FOTRS is working, and I think I have sorted out the folder problems.

I want to say a very sincere ‘thank you’ to all of you for your help.

What a great game..what a great Mod....and most of all...what a great community!

Thank you!

I'm having the same problem. Guys, if I put it on a disk otherwise than C: but use the program filesX86 folder will it work, For example my copy of Wolves of the pacific is on E: program files x86. Or does it absolutely have to be some generic folder like games for example even on another disk than C:

probably not.
most of us put Ubi stuff in its own folder. for example:
C:\Ubisoft\SH3
C:\Ubisoft\SH4 (or Silent Hunter 4 or whatever you want)

Stay away from default-Ubi.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

I'm really confused at this point. How do I redownload the steam version to a seperate folder and have it work? I just tried to copy the steam version to a ubisoft/SH4 folder and it does work at all. I tried using my disk first and it gave me a 1.0 version of wolves of the pacific. I'm stumped to how to get this mod working. I can't even find a way to install the game elsewhere. EDIT! I finally think I figured it out. I was trying to start the mod on the UBOAT extension game. I have it working on wolves of the pacific regular so far! so far so cool. A lot different now! And i am using the steam version on my E drive programs x86
