Where have you lost little friend ? I believe you should do what it says: "Insert the bloody disk"

http://thegreywolves.com/

I bet you won't be getting problems finding the installation instructions there

Do you have all of the necessary files saved to the same location on your hard drive? If not, the installation program will be looking for something in that location that isn't there.

If all files are saved to the same place then I guess it's possible that you have a corrupted file.

Do not download GWX3 from the Grey Wolves site as instructed above, there have been issues in the past with downloads from that server being corrupted. Get all the files from Jimbuna's site at

http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/jimbunaGWX3.0

there are a number of .bin files - seven IIRC, anyway you need all the GWX3 .bin files plus the GWX3.exe file. Save them all to the same location on your hard drive then run the .exe file. Also make sure that you are installing over a clean, unmodded installation of SH3 v1.4.

Glad you got things sorted.

Now you can join the rest of us, cowering in fear as the beat of destroyer propellers thump overhead and you hear the splashes of depth-charges hitting the water.

Pretty soon, you'll find yourself shouting, "Alaaaarrm!", in all manner of awkward social situations.

GWX, the gift that keeps on giving! ... heart attack, stroke, anxiety....
