You’d be better off buying a digital version of sh3 from gta for £3.45

Are you using the 7 bin files install?
If so you may need to download them again.
I'd just get the single file complete installer.

Sounds like you either grabbed a pirated incompete copy of SH3... or... the download you grabbed, was either incomplete or somehow, managed to end up corrupted.

You'd be better off... grabbing a paid for download, from Ubishaf... erhm, Ubisoft.

Can grab it there for less than a cup of Starbuck's overpriced coffee... it's that cheap.

He states he's trying to install GWX.

"trying to install GWX Gold and im told i need disk7."


So I'd assume SH3 is already installed!

Asking for disk 7 usually means GWX_7.bin is corrupt.

Single FULL GWX installer.

I blame it on... a lack of, navy mud... aka coffee.
