Default Fatal Error(s) !

hi hunter's

once more...

i have removed evrything i could think of regarding sh3 - gone everywhere to look for bits i could think of too - maybe i've missed something because, i get this now:
after trying to uninstall

Error 1316. a network error occured while attempting to read from file C:\ windows\installer\silenthunteriii.msi

and then after clicking ok, there is a pause then,

Error:1606 fatal error during installation. consult windows...

so, i am assuming there is still something left inside the system. it's not completely removing everything...

do any of you out there have a clue what this means ?

cos i've gone from a set up that works to one that is ******

Google is your friend! - HERE

This is not a SH3 problem but a windows installer issue.

thanks Danlisa

have tried this.
i have adobe on my system but not those applications, so.... i just removed ALL adobe stuff, manualy too.

so i come back to install and it asks me with the pop-up box do i want to modify repair or...whatever, to previous installation, its got those 3 options you can click with Remove being the last one.
dont remember this on clean sh3 install, somehow doesnt seem right ?

It's giving you those options because the install was interrupted last time. Part of the program installed before it crashed, usually the registry entries.

Proceed as directed.

BTW, it's not necessarily related to Adobe but more then likely a windows installer shell issue. If you look at all the links on google, you will see that it can happen to other programs too.

ok, i'm just gonna check this out...

1. i know have sh3 patched to 1.4 on my system. i know its 1.4 coz it says bottom right corner once fired up.

2. i do not have sh3 commander or mod enabler installed. i will need sh3 commander to play sh3-GWX2 ?

3. i have the new GWX files in ONE folder with paw print.

4. i have a sickly feeling it will bump again...something dont feel right...?

cheers

Ive come across this prob before in other games Danlisa is absolutly right but sometimes when those shell.install probs begin to happen it can mean your OS is getting unstable and time for a HD format and re-image if the problem persists.

Sometimes ya get lucky and sometimes ya dont with those type glitches

From what Ive read ya dont have to have SH Commander. GWX is a stand alone deal mate afaik.
