... and the v1.4 patch will NOT take on a Steam install anymore, due to their licensing scheme. As a head's up, Steam is doing their summer sale right now, and it's $5.00...

Of course, Amazon, in a continuing quest to keep up with the Jones, has the Gold Edition download for $5... Follow the link from the
SubSim Store, and the site gets a cut of the action there... I mention it, since it doesn't have quite as many issues with the online licensing, though they are getting somewhat trying also now...
What ever you do though, Windows does not like you changing things in certain areas of the computer without going through Windows itself. It's part of the User Access Control (UAC). The "Program Files" directories and a few others are "protected" folders. You'll want to use the Steam app on your computer, log-in, and manage your install folder. THEBERBSTER has a
thread #3 linked to in his signature about it (the dodougla part), and I finally got around to looking into my Steam install of SH3 & 5 and took me a
screen shot of the Steam App here on how I managed to get to the settings. If you get the game out of the Program Files directory, the mods "take" and things work much better.
