Emergency!

Red October1984 · 08-06-12, 03:20 PM

I uninstalled SH3 so i could have multiple installs. I was heading in that direction. I installed it, but hit cancel for the Gameshadow install. Then i tried to patch it. But it said that my Campaign .mis file was an unknown version and it wont patch.

I tried running the install to repair the install. It said "Fatal Error" and told me to contact microsoft support.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Did you delete the SH3 folder from My Documents and run a registry cleaner? Leftovers from the previous install can mess things up with the new one.

I deleted all related SH3 folders in My Documents.

I will try again.

EDIT:

Same result. Am i supposed to let the Gameshadow Install finish? Can i get detailed Step-by-step instructions on how to do this? It has been awhile since i did this.

Unfortunately, uninstalling software on a Win machine leaves more in the registry than even the KGB could cope with. Perhaps try something like RevoUninstaller and choose the Bring On The Brooms & Hoses It's Spring Cleaning option. You'll be dizzy seeing how much garbage the stock uninstallers leave.

I'll try it.

Cleaning the registry should do the trick. No need to install Gameshadow. If nothing else helps, reinstalling the whole Windows should take care of the problem. But there should be no need for that either, it's most likely registry problems.. Hope you get it sorted out.
