GWX3.0 Install Issue

osaka0235 · 03-31-14, 04:55 AM

Hello guys.

I recently bought new desktop, so I decided to re-install my old favorite game, Silent Hunter III with GWX3.0.

And guess what? GWX3.0 won't install!

Yes. I tried on clean version of SH3, and cleaned my registry each time when I tried to install. I restarted my computer several times. But nothing happened.

I am keep getting error message saying:

Setup was unable to create the directory " C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Silent Hunter 3\data\MultiMissions\German\MP6- Vor Labradors K?te".

Error 123: The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I am using Windows 7 64 bits, and I had same problem on my laptop before.
It was so funny that I had no problem on my previous desktop. I was never able to fix this. Those anybody know why GWX.exe can't install the mod properly?

Thanks!

Welcome aboard, Herr Kaleun.

South Korea is your home base?

Not sure, but this may be the problem...

System restore point - change language - try to GWX again - change mission name/folder/MIS data accordingly (LabradorsKueste) - change back language to current one

I am bit busy due to my RL business, however I will try what Mittelwaechter said as soon as I got some free time.
