SH4 and Vista/Windows 7 Installation

I'm running Vista 64 as well, and have not encountered any problems with SH3, SH4, or JSGME.

Same here for SH4 and JSGME.

In some installs it may do this. I think the previous version of JSGME could cause this... The newest version may not. If you look closely a lot of games cause this and they run just fine. It is because they are made to run on multiple versions of windows. I have had problems with mods uninstalling because of this. Easy to fix though.

Wish I'd checked this thread before I decided to reinstall.

no problems with vista 64 here, or with JSGME

Running SH4 with TMO 1.7 on Vista 32 bits. Never had a problem. Only had to put two files dsound.ini and dsound.dll (X-FI files from Creative Alchemy made for Creative sound card) in the program directory to get 5.1 sound AND install directx 9.0c from Microsoft. The game runs like . Aniuk

you must run JSGME once for it to create the mods folder then unzip the mod to the desktop open that folder to find the folder that contains the mod it is the one with the data folder with it then copy it to the mods folder

Run JGSM
OR create the directory by hand.

something like this (depends on your install path)

"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Mods"

It works.

What I do with Vista and I did this with XP. I extracted JSGME right to the main SH4 folder. Then, inside your main SH4 folder right click to make a new folder. Name it MODS. Extract any mods to this new MODS folder. Then use the JSGME icon within the SH4 folder to activate mods. Works for me. The reason I put all of JSGME inside my SH4 main folder, it keeps all my SH4 stuff there and I know were to find it.
