Ahoi Mates!

After tinkering around for a long time I found the fix for my problem - and it is quite simple, if You think about it:

1. What You need:
- SH4 including Uboat missions on DVDs
- MultiSH4

2. What to do:
a.) Install a plain vanilla installation of SH4 into YourPartition:\WhereEverYouLike\SH4\ but NOT into root of the partition (so NOT to YourPartition:\SH4\). IMPORTANT: DO NOT START SH4!
b.) Install the uboat missions addon into YourPartition:\WhereEverYouLike\SH4\ (IMPORTANT: DO NOT START SH4 YET!)
c.) Copy/extract MultiSH4.exe into YourPartition:\WhereEverYouLike\SH4\
d.) Backup FileManager.dll in YourPartition:\WhereEverYouLike\SH4\ by making a copy of it
e.) Start MultiSH4.exe in YourPartition:\WhereEverYouLike\SH4\ and rename savedgame-folder to something else (p.e. I renamed it from "SH4" to "SI4"). This will modify the original FileManager.dll file.
f.) Install JSGME (Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler) and install all the mods You like.
g.) Now run SH4 for the first time...
h.) ... and Bob's Your uncle!


So I have the complete SH4 installation in all its glory on my F:\ partition only. There is no savedgame-folder for SH4 in C:\MyDocuments\blabla\ on my machine nomore...

Regards!
