ok. Vista is a tricky b*tch but here are the steps
first off, completely remove your existing SH3 from your hard drive and delete all of your GWX3.bin /exe files etc. to start completely fresh
Install Silent Hunter 3
outside of program files. (when you install, the default path is C:/ Program Files/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 3
You should change the path to read "C:/[Folder Name of your choice]/Silent Hunter 3"
for example... i have chosen "C:/Kriegsmarine/Silent Hunter 3
now...
patch to version 1.4b
once you have completed these steps, create a folder on your desktop entitled "GWX Install"
once you have done that
download the following files from this link location

GWX3-1.bin
GWX3-2.bin
GWX3-3.bin
GWX3-4.bin
GWX3-5.bin
GWX3-6.bin
GWX3-7.bin
GWX3.exe
save those files to the desktop folder you created called "GWX3 Install"
Once you have done this
open the folder called "GWX3 Install" and run the GWX3.exe file, make sure you point the installer to your game path where you have chosen to install SH3 outside of program files
the installation process is automatic and takes a few minutes, once the installation is complete you are now upgraded to GWX3
