Choosing the right game

Thanks for your help and advice chaps, although I can't find what version of SH I have I think it will be after 2008.
I put back JSGME last night and found a few Mods in a folder, now I think the GWX mod will be interesting, and I presume it will be somewhere on the site, again my thanks.

Hi again
I have found the GWX mod but my system will not let me put it in the MOD's folder which is in C : Program Files.Silent Hunter. Mods, it is tellimg me that "I do not have permission to save to this location" and Do you want to save to the Robert folder instead?
If I do, can I slide the mod into the JSGME from the Robert folder, and if that works should the GWX mod be installed before my favourite mod of extra ammo, and the other three mods I usually use?
Regards Robert.

GWX comes with its own installer. It cannot be activated with JSGME. Put it on your desktop and double-click the file. It will prompt you with the necessary steps, and then install itself. It is highly recommended that GWX only be installed to a fresh, unused version of SH3, otherwise there can be configuration problems.

And be sure to read the screens while installing!
You will need to direct the install to the proper folder as it was written before Windows 7 and there are problems if you don't!

(And you may need to turn your speakers up real high

)

Hi, I put the file on the DeskTop and it installed itself into the 7-Zip folder but there was no file called GWX inside, so I clicked on the desk top file again and sent it to the SH3 folder, same again, no GWX file.
Each time I click onto the GWX3.0 Config files for SH3 it says "Choose which folder to instal 7-Zip Beta" I think there is something mixed up here

I am on limited time tonight but I'll try to D-Load it again to the DT

The GWX files are multi files and you need all of them.
(Unless you got the single install version)
You may have the SH3 Commander file.

Hi , Yes I got them from the "Most Popular Files" and I think they are Cmdr files, but when I go to where I put them all I see is 7-Zip and when I open the 7Zip folder there is nothing in there with RWX or install just a load of Z's files.
Are you saying that there are others which I can d/load individually? Robert.
