INSTALLATION
Begin with an UN-MODDED FULL INSTALLATION of Silent Hunter II, patched to the
1.1 interop level.
You can obtain the Version 1.1 Interop Patch. Be patient; it’s a large file and a VERY slow site.
- Double click the Projekt Messerwetzer installer.
- The installer will find your installation of Silent Hunter II by looking for its’ entry in the registry.
- If you wish to install to this location, then select the OK button.
- If you have more than one installation of Silent Hunter II and would like to install Projekt Messerwetzer to other than the one found by the installer, use the browse button to select the folder where the other installation of Silent Hunter II resides on your hard drive.
-Make sure you select Yes when asked if you want your current files backed up.
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Testing was performed with the following configuration (SH2 1.0 + SH2 1.1 interop patch + Projekt Messerwetzer). Use of Community “MODS” are the responsibility of the player, and are neither recommended nor supported.
