she-wolf,

thanks for giving it so much thought, but after checking and double checking it still does not work. so for my personal well being and for the greater good of this forum, i just forget GWX and enjoy SHIII as it is.

That's why I offered you to use Teamviever if you stuck. Find the person you trust with GWX to help you out.

Subdude, I still have the .bins and .exe that worked for me. I seem to recall that I had to get the bins down again from a fresh source - but it is all a bit hazy now. If you want me to send them to you to try one more time, then please PM me your e-mail address.

Subdude,
GWX 2.1 should not be in the folder from which you install GWX 2.0 It should be run separately after GWX 2.0 is installed. Also the folder "SH3" in My Documents should be removed or renamed before you do anything.
Sugestion: remove SHIII from your computer, and then make sure that the folder Ubisoft is removed. Clean your registry. Then reinstall SHIII, then the 1.4b patch (if not already included in your install). Then install GWX 2.0 from its own folder, and finally, from a separate folder, install GWX 2.1

An alternate solution would be to wait until SHIII/GWX3.0 Gold is released and then install these programs.

Playing vanilla SHIII sucks, and you will soon loose interest.

I installed a fresh copy of GWX2.1 an hour or so ago without any problem so I can certainly vouch for the files on my FF account.....or alternately, you could grab them from the torrent link on same account.

jimbuna,

never ever did i have the slightest doubt in my heart that your files are anything but pure, uncorrupted digital pieces of art. it is me (old), my old computer and the rather difficult relationship between us that makes my PC life miserable from time to time.
i really appreciate all the kind words and tips you guys are giving me, this forum is visited by truly amazing peolple!

Irish, what would be the problems with having GWX2.1 in the same folder as the other files?

Im asking because I just had to re-install SH3 (and everything else for that matter, my nephew did a very bad thing to my PC... needless to say he will never touch my computer again...)

Anyway back OT. Like I was saying I had all files in the same folder and everything seemed to install fine, Ive done a few patrols with no apparent issue's, yet...
