Is your SH3 patched up to 1.4?
Have you deleted the SH3 folder in the C\My Documents?

Make sure you get the correct patch. There are different kinds of 1.4b's.

Probably the best course of action. You could wait for Jscones to pop in and tell you what those codes mean but the end result will still be the same.

Totally re-install SH3.

Sorry.

If you uninstall SH3 the patches go with it as well. Just make sure you delete the SH3 folder in C\My Documents. After that just re-install the game and patch it up.

Now you re-install SH3 and patch it up. After that you can add GWX

"Test 3 = FAILED - 1.0.0.1" means you tried to install over an UNPATCHED copy of SH3.

:hmm: melnibonian, fredbass and danlisa all said to install the patch. That's all you needed to do.
