Default Converting SH II to Pacific Aces

Hello,
Which files do I need to convert Silent Hunter II to Pacific Aces? What is the correct installation sequence to insure proper program execution?

Thanks.

First make a clean install of SH2, and rename the folder to 'Pacific Aces' or whatever name you prefer.
-Install the official 1.1 patch
-If you wish, you can now install Vicker's mods ( PA does not provide this)
-If you wish, you can now install Projekt Messerswetzer ( PA does not provide this)
-Install the Pacific Aces mod from the executable utility, pointing to your 'Pacific Aces' folder.
-changed the resolution in PA to 1024x768
-pacific aces patch 1.1 exe
-pacific aces glitch fix
My notes:
I would like to report no more Janus errors after realizing that PA seems to need Project Messerwetzer and doing a clean re-install of everything in this order:

1. Clean Install of SH2, and rename the folder to 'Pacific Aces' or whatever name you prefer.
2. Install the official SH2 Patch 1.1
3. Install Vicker's mods
4. Install Project Messerwetzer to avoid some Janus errors
5. Install PA 1.0, pointing to your 'Pacific Aces' folder.
6. Install PA patch 1.1
7. Install new PA Sound 1.1
8. Install glitche fix patch that includes optional dive bubble for Project Messerwetzer
9. Lethal radius mod (used 5 DepthChargeJP*.ADF files)
10. Active sonar hack ... edited the 10 SonarActive, SonaractiveUS, SonaractiveJapan, etc... files.

The above is how I've done it. Any problems post back. You can even have Pacific Aces and SH II.

================================================== ======
1) Rename your "Silent Hunter II" install to something else-say "My SHII" or "U-boat".

2) Insert the disc, and select "Uninstall Silent Hunter II". Since the folder has a new name, the only thing that is uninstalled will be the path from the disc to the folder. (nothing is removed, only reg keys)

3) Select "Install Silent Hunter II". Now you will have two installs. You can rename the new one "Pacific Aces" and re-rename the original "Silent Hunter II". Or not, because the name on the folder really doesn't matter.

I zipped the entire directory for SH2.
================================================== ======

Good luck
