TorpX has you on the right track. You should simply install the game in another folder other than "Program Files(x86)". Create a new folder in your "C:\" folder.....name it "Games".....direct SH4 to install its files there, after you've removed all remnants of the original game from your computer.

JoeCorrado, and robustits have good points too. But, if you're not sure how to change specific file and folder properties, the easiest way is to create a new folder for the game other than using "Programs Files(x86)". Windows limits/monitors what gets loaded into this folder (for security sake), creating a new folder, and installing your games there will go around this limitation.

=========

Something else I just noticed about your path:

c:\Program files(x86)\ubisoft\silent hunter wolves of the pacific\mods_mods_1 trigger maru overhaul_2-5\data

The correct path for "1_Trigger_Maru_Overhaul_2-5" should be directly in the "MODS" folder made by JSGME when you first open it....after JSGME is installed in your "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific" main game folder. That's not what you have. You've got "\mods_mods_......". The correct path (if you create that new folder I mentioned above) should be:

C:\Games\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\1_Trigger_Maru_Overhaul_2-5\Data\.......etc,etc.

One other point...... don't forget to take a "Snapshot" of your newly installed SH4 game files after installing the JSGME application. You'll find this feature in the "Tasks...." menu found in JSGME when you first open it (that's also when it creates the MODS folder in the proper "main" game folder). Having a Snapshot of your clean game files will come in handy later after adding/changing/removing mods from your game. Having main game files corrupted is the number one problem for modding your game. Using the Snapshot feature will tell you when you've got trouble (besides having a CTD or some other issue pop up).
