Not sure how this can be unknown as I have installed Silent Hunter III from the cd.
Has anyone come across this before and how to fix it?
Thanks,

Yes, when I did my first uninstall of SH3 and then reinstall the game. Could not install 1.4b patch as you described.
The reason: the uninstall does not remove all of the Silent Hunter files! There are three files that conflict with the install of the patch.
The cure: do the uninstall and then locate the Silent Hunter directory under Programs\UBI\Silent Hunter. (You'll probably need to do a search for Silent Hunter under all files in the C drive to find it.) Delete the Silent Hunter directory which will remove all remaining files. You can now install SH3 and then the 1.4b patch.
However, it would be a good time to run a program called CrapCleaner before you do the reinstall. I have used this program religiously for 2 years. I always run the "Clean" and the "Issues" of CrapCleaner before turning off my computer. You'll be surprised how much junk this program gets rid of.
Do a search with Google for CrapCleaner. It is a free download.
Hope this is helpful.
