I've never had any luck installing Starforce-controlled SH3 on any 64-bit system.
My best advice would be to just get a new copy - it only costs $3-10 these days. You can get a fully functioning, fully moddable and Windows 8.1 compatible version of it for download from Amazon or GamersGate (but not Steam since it will make it difficult installing mods that require .exe patching). I've had 0 problems running that on Win 8.1
