1) Don't worry about the 1.3 vs 1.4 issue; it is the 1.4!

2) You didn't say but I'm guessing you're doing an SH3 reinstall after an uninstall.

You are getting the de_menu.txt error message because the uninstall does NOT remove all the old SH3 files; there is a conflict with files in the 1.4 patch.

To solve problem: Do a search for the Silent Hunter subdirectory under Program files. (this is the path: program files/ubisoft/silent hunter/etc.) DELETE the Silent Hunter subdirectory. This removes the left over files that conflict with the install of the 1.4 patch. Now, reinstall SH3 and then 1.4 patch. It should work fine.
