Well, you've got a readme.txt with your JSGME app......I suggest you read and follow it.
Looks like you have since you made a "Snapshot" of your game files (so you're onto a good start).
As was pointed out, having the main game files placed into the "Program Files" folder (or whatever your particular OS version of Windows you're using calls it) isn't a good thing. OS versions like Vista, or Win7 will not allow changes to your game files if you have them in the default "Programs" folders....unless you have complete Administrative rights to the programs added there. Make it easy on yourself and install the game someplace other than the "Programs" folder of the C:/ drive.
As the following shows, the main game folder (I'm calling it "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific_v1.5") is placed on my D:/ drive under Games\Ubisoft\.
My folders are set to show "Icons"; the 5 circled files are what you should have when properly installing JSGME to your main game folder of an SH v1.5 game. That "JSGMEHelp.txt" is the Readme file I mentioned earlier. By all means....read it. It's your manual.
When you run the game for the first time, the "SI.bin" file will be made and added to your main game folder. Depending on when you asked JSGME to take a "Snapshot" of your game files after installing JSGME, will determine if you have the SI.bin file shown as "New" or not when you make the "Compare Snapshot" function. Also, if you have taken a couple of in-game images, those will show up as "New" too (that's why I've got them underlined). The 4 different states of your game files are
Same;
Different;
New;
Removed, after making a comparison. Any number of files other than showing as "Same" should cause you to look through the list to see what has changed. If its something as simple as the New: SI.bin file......you're fine. So is the New: SH4Img.... images, your fine there too. Just look out for files coming back as "Different" or "Removed".....could be a corruption issue (although there are a couple of German flags "Removed" from the "Data\Textures\TNormal\tex" file for some reason with the use of some mods?? Why.... who knows??? not really a big deal either).
For the most part, the above image should look very similar to your game folder with the 5 JSGME files correctly added.
