GWX installation issues

Takamaru · 07-03-08, 11:58 AM

Hi all, hate to make my first post one with trouble but alas it is what it is

I am trying to install the GWX 2.0 mod, however when I run the install I get an endless series of error messages while installing relating to game files that supposedly are "corrupted".

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilenthunterIII\data\Air\ADB_JU87Stu ka\ADB_JU87Stuka.cfg

An error occurred while trying to read the source file:
The source file is corrupted.

When I click the not recommended Ignore button I get an endless sequence of similar error messages. First of the Stuka fiels, then of more airplanes.

I apparently have the required 1.4 version of SH3 since that's what it says in the menu screen in-game. I bought the game last summer (2007) and did not need to download the update since it came as v1.4 in the box.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance!

Well, that's helpful.

@ Takamaru

Welcome to Subsim.

It sounds to me as if you have a corrupted download on one of the GWX 2.0 *.bin files.

If you visit the FAQ section of the GWX webpage, it will provide you a way to check the integrity of your downloaded files using MD5 hash codes and MD5 Mate, aswell as instructions.

Let us know how it goes.

I just went through this recently. I was advised to download a fresh copy of GWX2.0 and reinstall everything from the start once again. Apparently on such a large download, files can get inadvertently corrupted during the transfer. You should have the .exe file, 6 .bin loads of about 200KB's each and one about 15KB. In any event, I took the advice and it worked. Take some time...GWX is worth it.

Don't you think so?

For a time being...until some folks won't begin to make 100 GB mods. :rotfl:

I have no idea at all, but at least it got you to start posting.

If all else fails I'd suggest getting it through GameShadow, it's free and gives you a single .exe that does all the work for you.
