Argh stupid installer! | Forums

Ok, in the first hour....

Firstly, the installer doesn't finish what it is doing, it just freezes at 'removing backup files'.

Then the game freezes on checking the disk....
It doesn't even bother to read the dvd drive.

Then trying to uninstall.... ha! nope, the uninstall command doesn't work, either from the start menu, or from the cd.... For some strange reason it also does not appear in add remove programs either!

WTF is wrong with this game!?

I had the check disk freeze on me too but its because I put the DVD CD in the drive the same time clicking on the Silent Hunter III icon. Seems the DVD player wants to boot the disk at the same time as checking the SHIII sim off the DVD CD. Try to put the DVD CD first in the drive and wait to the install/play window for SHIII to popup and then exit that window. Then while your desktop is clear and also look at your drive light making sure its off then launch SHIII via the Silent Hunter III icon. This should help.
