No installation menus

delete every instance of SH3 found during this search. If you had it installed on your system before, the remanents of your prior installation can play havoc with your installation attempts.

Thanks for the replies guys problem is i cannot set where it installs i never get any menu allowing me to do that same with the directx menu or gameshadow. I run the autorun off the dvd get the menu with the options to play, install game, install directx, manual, uninstall i click install and the windows installer screens come up but once they go i have nothing till the game is on my drive.

Normally i install all my games to a drive seperate from the os drive but i cannot do this with SH3 because i never get the chance. I bought the game about two years ago and it is a legit copy but i don't think it is one of the later versions that doesn't have the starforce on it and getting protection errors would seem to back that up. I downloaded the no dvd fix that is mentioned on these forums but it doesn't work and i am assuming thats because although the game is put on the drive it is not properly installed hence why i also cannot edit any .cfg files i can change them but it will not allow me to save them.

It is a weird problem that i have never come across before and thats why it is doing my head in so much. I have wiped all reference to SH3, ubisoft and gameshadow off my pc and will try another install but i don't think that will sort it but will post back if it does. Hope you guys have some other ideas as i really want to have a go at the game.
