Your lucky Rob
Jaeson is out of town for a few days :rotfl:

First off rollback both SH3commanders
Make sure both your folders in the Ubisoft folder are anything other than SilentHunterIII - in other words rename if you have too

Rename the SH3 folder in my documents - so your careers are safe

Whack the DVD in the drive
Click install
Click repair

Hey presto - a fresh SilentHunterIII install
Patch to 1.4b

No need to add JSGME as GWX will install that

I recommend SH3commander 2.7 Rob
It will have some GWX specific files to D\L as extras
These include all new ship classes and names and updated cfg files too for use with GWX only

Now if needs be you can have another SH3commander install for GWX - so you will have 3

Add the same as you did the other 2

@BBW

So, I do have the other SH3 programs renamed and I already have both careers backed up. So now put my DVD in and in Control Panel click remove, but instead of removing it, repair???

So you recommend I uninstall SH3CMDR2.6 and install 2.7

Now from that one copy of CMDR2.7, copy two more with the names for the other two TGW and GWX and the original for SH3 and have 3 shortcuts on my destop?

Then have 3 JSGME shortcuts for each game.

Install MultiInstall into the GWX. It is only installed in the TGW to have a different career file in My Documents. Should I have MultiInstall in all 3 ?

Okay, I have 3 copies of comder 2.6. Will 2.7 (1 desk icon) be able to switch between the three installs (Ubisoft-GWX, Ubisoft-U55 and Ubisoft-TGW)? Or should I make 3 copies of it in the program files and 3 icons?

Ok Rob
Dont bother going anywhere near control panel
Just insert the disc in the drive
Click install then click repair

I cant answer your multiSH3 query as never used it
Only ever used 1 install of SH3Commander so I will be no help there either

If 2 installs worked for you before then I see no reason why 3 wont

There is the switch function in SH3commander that can point to more than 1 install but again not used it Rob

Okay, I'll wait to see if someone else can answer my Commander 2.7 question.

However, I installed JSGME in the clean install, should I delete it if GWX put it in anyways?

Rob hi

I would suggest you do a different installation of SH3Cmd for each different installation of SH you have. That way you don't get the SH3Cmd confused and you don't mess up things. The way to do this is simple. You install SH3Cmd 2.7 and then you right-click onto the desktop icon. You click on properties and where it say target you type "C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX. Now this is the example of my SH3Cmd that will check the files in the My Documents\GWX folder that is generated by the C\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX installation. After that this particular installation of SH3Cmd is linked to that installation of SH (GWX in this case). If you need more info please let me know and I'll do my best to help. BTW I haven't forgot about the contact interception thing I've talked to you about but due to work I didn't have time to play. Today I'm uploading GWX for the last 3 hours and it will still take another 6, so I will do it at some point by Sunday.

After I dl GWX and install it, should I use MultiInstall in it to make a special save career folder, say like - GWX?
I already have GW1 for TGW and U55 for the SH3
