Uninstalled all 3 items ok.

Ran ccleaner + registry cleaner and then rebooted.

When the dvd loaded I changed all the applications to run as administrators.

Installation process as follows.

Setup will install Silent Hunter III in the following folder.

To install to this folder click next.

To install to a different folder click Browse and select another folder.

Destination folder.

C:\Program (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III

The error occurs immediately you press the Browse button.

Error message.

Install Driver Module has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Install shield 1628 failed to complete installation.

So it looks like I have no choice in the matter than to re-install in the default destination.

And you did not have the posibility to edit the path manually? In some application installers you can edit the text by hand and not having to browse to a specific folder.

Well, if the path starts with the folder "Ubisoft" instead of "Program Files (x86)" then it's no problem anyway. (only now I notice this

) Windows only cares about the real C:\Program Files (x86) folders. I guess it is ok afterall

Hi Pisces

My mistake typing error should be

C:\Program (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III

I have amended my original post.

The Encore version will not let you make any changes to the path.

Will only install in the default installation.

When you click on the browse key you get an install error number.

As I have not run this Encore game yet I am now also wondering as Encore is a Canadian production whether it will recognise a QWERTY keyboard.

I have been reading old Subsim postings regarding the Dvd disc ESS632.

Dvd's that are Black and White are supposed to be SF free and version 1.4b

Dvd's that are Black and Silver have SF.

I have had a reply back from an Ebay seller who has a Black and White dvd
so have bought it and will delve in to its properties when it arrives.

Just received my SH3 dvd today from an Ebay seller.

I sent questions through Ebay to about 8 sellers to make sure I got the right dvd.

As previously discussed on other posts and a big thank you for that valuable information stating that the Black Bottom and White Top is the later SF free and version v1.4

The File Version is 8.2.160.0

Product Version 1.4.0000

Date Modified 18/08/2006

Unlike the Encore version this will allow you to install anywhere.
