happened to me too heres the fix i got from the develpoer

The Emergency 3 Mod Installer may require a registry entry tweak in order to
function correctly.

NOTE: Modifying or deleting the wrong registry key may cause serious damage
to your Windows installation. If you are uncomfortable, have someone who is
more computer savvy do it for you.

We will be creating the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\sixteen
tons entertainment\Emergency 3 US.
Within it we will have the Value name 'Installdir' with the value data
'[installation directory]'.

Please follow these instructions exactly:

1) Start regedit by selecting Start - Run, typing in 'regedit' and then
hitting 'OK'.

2) Select 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' and press the '+' button to its left to
expand the list.

3) Next, select 'SOFTWARE' and press the '+' button to its left to expand
the list.

5) Right-click on 'SOFTWARE' and select New > Key.
Enter the new key name: sixteen tons entertainment

6) Right-click on 'sixteen tons entertainment' and select New > Key.
Enter the new key name: Emergency 3 US

7) Right-click on 'Emergency 3 US' and select New > String value.
Enter the new key name: Installdir

8) Right-click on 'Installdir' and select Modify.
In the 'Value Data' field, enter the full path of your installation
directory.
By default, this value is C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Emergency 3


Now, exit the registry editor by selecting the File menu and then clicking
on Exit.

The Emergency 3 Mod Installer should now function correctly

I suspect you need the patch or to scroll down the units list.

Have you tried scrolling down the units list? There are a lot more units if you scroll down.
