Thanks.
I realize you are talking about SH4.exe, but here is a steam related problem to SH5.exe which may be why executables are a problem to change coming from Steam.

Excerpt from:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433, post #1


"For Steam versions of the SH5.exe:
Unable to provide solution to Steam users. The steam sh5.exe uses a form of self-modifying code copy protection that 'unpacks' the code when the executable is run. This form isn't impossible to read and decipher it just takes longer and quite frankly the reward to time relationship isn't worth it for me (not to mention that I can't run the .exe since I don't own the steam version of the game - I own the boxed version of the game). Sorry all. This is one reason why I never buy Steam based games unless I have to."
