GWX install error

[rascal101]

I'm glad some one started this thread, I too am having a problem or two.

By mistake I went streight into Explorer and simply deleted all SH3 folders, then went to My Docs, deleted the SH3 folder there, then did a regedit, opened local machine, deleted SH3 from there, I trashed the SH3 short cut, then emptied recycle bin, then restarted computer.

Then reinserted store bought CD into drive, started install process, this seemed to work eventually, then I tried to patch the game, successfully installed patches 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 but patch 1.4b would not install because it doesnt recognise the previous SH3 install.

Aaaaaagh what do I do, tried to find a new copy of patch4b, then had to work out if I had emea vers or US, I think I have emea, downloaded 1.4b again but got the same mesaage

Can some one help me out
