I chose "Silent Hunter III" (without ubisoft as main folder)...
and it seems to be working.


c:/silenthunter3 is the folder where all the data is being installed to as we speak. All the subfolders of the game are there (sh3.exe, data ...)
Now the Installshield Wizard asks me whether to install "Gameshadow" from the CD or not? What is this program, do I need it or shoud I discontinue to install it?

Do not install Gameshadow.

As you say....
I canceld the installation of Gameshadow.
So I have the game ready.
c:/silenthunter3 contains the SH3.exe and all other game folders like data, documentation, Support, mission editor etc.....
Just finished the requirement section and it tells me that my system is capable of playing this game.


Whats next?
SH3 Commander?
Any specifics or things to monitor before installing the commander?

No, sounds like you're all set. Commander has specific files to use with the various megamods but if you're just using it with a stock SH3 install, you won't need those.

Ah...and how am I going to get enhanced patrol logs with ships names and use crew management like custom names ?
Is this possible without installing the SH3 commander?

I don't know about patrol logs without commander but the crew names/info. are in the crew_config*.cfg files found in path game\data\cfg.
They'll also be in the documents section folder once you start a career.

Seriously, why would I do all this when I can have it simplified by just installing the commander? Just because I'm not interested in playing a major mod, doesn't mean, I am againt the use of the Commander.
So where exactly do you suggest to install SH3 commander( folder/subfolder etc.) ??

Exactly; just use Commander instead. Install Commander in your c:\silenthunter3 folder. It should then have the Commander folder listed along with the game folders of data, documentation, etc.
