After quite a few years away from SubSim I have retired and finally returned to the fold here and to that end I've dragged out my almost ten year old copy of Silent Hunter 5 on disk only to find my computer just didn't have the "horsepower" to run it and TWOS. I have since uninstalled both SH5 and TWOS and then cleaned the computer using everything except a fire hose (as well as CCleaner).
I've now reinstalled SH5 again and this time added Sober's Mega Mod which I understand through reading the posts here is a bit more user friendly to elderly cripples such as my current computer. I'm now ready for the maiden voyage with one exception.
When I installed
TDW's Generic Patcher I was able to install and get working eight of the nine "patches" but the ninth patch when I attempted to install it showed a "popup" box which said, word for word......

Since I am not particularly fluent in computer gibberish I've been able to make little or nothing of the above mentioned message.
If any one can help me "square this away" you'll be invited to the commissioning party and the launch! It should be a" hell of a party"
My thanks in advance for any assistance in advance,
Quink
