I have been trying to do a clean install, but I cannot get the darn thing uninstalled.
Anybody else have had this problem and worked thru it,
please help.

First step, try to do a install the best way you can over the current installation. Second step, then do the uninstall you want.

When I try to run install from the DVD, I get a message:
"unable to run setup"
Any Thoughts?

I have run into this problem and the only way that I have gotten around it is to physically "delete" the SH3 folder, run a registry cleaner and then reinstall SH3.

The reason that the DVD will not reinstall the game is that it still "sees" the game in the registry, so until you clear the registry of SH3, no reinstall.

I had the same problem, and had to do the same thing. To clean the registery after deleting the Ubisoft folder, I used registery mechanic by PC Tools software.
