This is where you will still run into problems.... The GWX installation guides, both video and text both state clearly:

"2. Unzip GWX-KC pack, using 7-zip or WinRAR, into a new folder away from the SH3 original, a different HD/SSD would be ideal. Under no circumstances should you install KC to the original SH3 install folder !!!!"

Basically polyfiller, although the details remain necessary for reading or listening closely for in the video.... you can remember the installation process this way:

1) Install SH3 patched to 1.4b to a folder other than your "Program Files"

2) Install GWX - Knight's Cross edition to any other folder of your choice (again not program files)
Run the game from the .exe file found in the GWX-KC files that you just planted. Ignore the .exe file found with the original game files that you installed in step #1 above.

Also GWX-KC fixes the widescreen issue for you... unless you have an odd monitor that will not easily manage 1920 x 1080 Then you will need other help and to create a new thread.

Sink'em ALL!!!

Unless you are speaking of GWX 3.0 which has different installation instructions and requires something like Ahnenerbe's Widescreen mod applied.
