Default Trying to Run SH4 Uboat Missons update

Ok, I'm stumped. I'll spell it out as best I can.

I am on a work laptop (they have some kind of redirect for the user files that backs up those files when I'm in the office). The fact that I shouldn't make use of a work laptop to play games is beside the point. I'm on vacation and brought it along to get some little work done and to play SH4.

I can install SH4 and patch to 1.4 just fine.

When I try to run the U-Boat Missions update it seems to run ok, but after running the install for the U-Boat Missions if I check the properties on the .exe file for SH4 it still says version 1.4. I can't figure out how to work around this issue and get it to install correctly so I can run it. Any ideas?

*edit* The OS is Windows 10

Did you install the game into C:\ Program Files (x86) \ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific \ ??? If so, that is a "protected" system folder. Try to re-install the game into a different folder, like when the choice of folder comes up, edit the path to get rid of the "Program File (x86) \" part so that you end up with C:\ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific instead.

No, I installed it to c:\Games\Silent Hunter 4

*edit* I have also tried running as administrator with both the SH4 install and the UBoat Missions add on.

I'm looking it over, I bought the download version of 1.5 which has SH4.exe file date Feb 3 2013. The 1.4 file date is Nov 29 2007. Version on both files says 1,4,0,0 and they are both 1,992 kilobytes. However the launch screen shows 1.4 in the lower right corner for the earlier executable, and 1.5 in the lower right corner along with a different start screen when I launch the game. I would try starting the game and see if it works.

I've done that, multiple times. I get an error.

"The procedure entry point ?TokenzieAndReturnCollectionDeletable@String@@SA?a V?$DynamicVector@PAD@@QBD_NPAD@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Games\Silent Hunter4\sh4.exe

I'm betting the root of the problem lies with the folder redirect, is there any way to change where installtion files go to decompress temp files so it is not in the user folder but in some other folder on the drive?
