Hmm...

I think the cleanup is not completed then.

Anyway after stop he should do a manual system reboot.

I will pass that info on, he will just have to set a day to do it. Still cleaning my PC but I got no plans to go to bed for another seven hours hope its done by then.

Keep you posted.

OK hes back in and has informed me hes done the SH3 clean but the message 1628: Failed to complete installation has come up again and yet as before he launched the game and did a quick spin around the harbor.

Some good news he has not been forced to follow the original download path as pointed out. He has now got it on this.. C:/Games/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII

I suggested he does no more and just try out the game and see if this Turm problem crops up again. So that will be it until Friday or Saturday with a update.

BTW: Told him to launch the game from the icon in the folder and not to create a desktop short cut.

Steed, look in your Start menu and look for an icon in Programs that resembles the SH3 icon. It's actually SH3 Detection and will show up once SH3 has been uninstalled. Delete it right from the Start menu, as was a result of the uninstall that created it there. It does not show up anywhere but in the Programs.

It happened to me and I couldn't reinstall SH3. Once it was deleted the reinstall worked.

BTW, I'm running StartButton8_Setup_freeware for 8.1.

I just tried it myself after using the SH3 cleaner and Ccleaner I got the same 1628: Failed to complete installation message and yet like my mate I went to the folder where I installed it and there it was. Like him the SH3 start icon vanished from the desktop so I clicked the icon in the folder and the game is running, no good for me as my fan just went into over time and the PC became real hot after one quick patrol. So I went to uninstall SH3 and could not from the disk! Ran a search no SH3 was found on my PC...ERRR. So I just removed the everything myself and ran SH3 cleaner and Ccleaner again. I'm not that bothered as I stopped playing well over a year ago.

Any how moving on to my mate with his problem spoke to him on the phone and so far the Type 2 Turm problem on the Type 7 has not returned, will update again over the weekend.

That SH3 Detection icon was what gave the 1628: Failed to complete installation message when I tried to do the reinstall.

You'll get the itch to play again.

After being away from SH3 3 or 4 years I got the itch after messing with SH5 and having campaign problems with it. But now it's problems getting SH3 to run as it should.

Real strange it tells you its failed and a search tells you SH3 is not on the PC yet it is and you can play it! Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

I'm not into gaming anymore, rather read a good book.
