No idea. I have Win7 x64 with SH3 installed in C:\SilentHunterIII-GWA\ with GWX and multiple other Mods (the GWA is a 2nd install using alternate flotillas). I have SH3C installed inside that directory (with its own set of JSGME mods). Mine is working fine.

It would not at all surprise me if (in addition to installing in a \Program Files (x86)\ directory), he has forgotten to check the auto-rollback function and forgotten to define his SH3 install path within SH3C.

The other thing that might be needed is for him to take ownership of the entire install directory and all of the files. There are various places where you can download a script to automatically add this to the right-click in Explorer or you can manually edit the registry.

Of course - all of this assumes he is running as an admin when he installed SH3, GWX and SH3C...

Something else that comes to mind is the additional configuration files for SH3 Commander that are needed for it to work properly with GWX 3.0, but I'm not sure if that's the reason why you're getting that error.

We believe JohnLax's issue has been resolved (well so far). There was a error stating that Commander or SHIII was already running. Don't know the exact wording because we were on the phone, 60 miles appart. But basically the game would run, starting via SHIII icon but not via Commander program. Commander was almost useless. There were several SHIII entries shown already running in the TASK MANAGER, we ended those processes. Now all is working as should be. Jerry
