Application Load Error

What I wanted to do: Test the new WAC 5.0 supermod with a separate SH3 installation.

What my setup was before anything happened:

One unmodified, original steam installation in the standard path (c:\prog...\steamapps\common\silent hunter 3)
One modified sh3 installation in c:\games\sh3 (LSH3 2015 and realistic contacts)

Because I knew I had started the original steam installation I knew it was no good to use, so I uninstalled sh3 (from within steam), cleaned the registry with CCleaner and reinstalled via steam.

After successful installation (which I did not run) I copied over the contents of c:\program...\steamapps\common\silent hunter 3 into c:\games\sh3_wac5 and tried to run sh3.exe (compatibility set to win xp, sp 2 and no wide screen optimizations). The game did not start. Instead I got an error message with the following content:

steam error

application load error 2:0000065558

I ended all steam tasks and services with the task manager, but the error persists.

Ideas?
