I bought the UK version of the add-on and it does not work with my US version of GP3.
And Softwarefirst is out of the UK version of GP3.

So I am looking to buy a copy UK GP3.
Anyone out there?

I'm sure if you try www.strategic-plus.co.uk they will ship it to you for 19.95 + postage.

You could try dowloading the install fix for GP32K from
www.gamecopyworld.com - I think this allows you to install the game
without the GP3 CD.

This is absolutely correct.  I had the same problem with getting GP3
2000 to work with the US version of GP3.  Download
GP3_2k_Install_Fix.zip from www.gamecopyworld.com.  It doesn't come
with any instructions.  Here is what to do.  You'll have to burn a new
disk.

GP3_2k_Install_Fix.zip is used to make GP3 2000 install with the US
version of GP3.

To make it work:

Extract data1.cab, data2.cab and data1.hdr from
GP3_2k_Install_Fix.zip.

Burn a new GP3 2000 disk, but substitute data1.cab, data2.cab and
data1.hdr for the same files on the GP3 2000 disk.

You can now install GP3 2000 from the newly burned disk.  During
installation you will first be asked to install the GP3 upgrade patch.
 If the GP3 upgrade patch has already been installed, select no.  You
will then be allowed to install GP3 2000.

The original GP3 2000 disk is still needed to run GP3 2000.  It won't
work from the burned disk.
