It's shows the fault line: data/Menu/de_help.txt: unknown version
Any help?

You are 100% correct.
About 10 days ago I forged ahead and finally installed GWX 2.0. I followed the instructions of uninstalling all of SHIII. Reinstalled the DVD 1.0 version. Attempted to apply the install of the 1.4b patch and hit the same brick wall - "data/Menu/de_help.txt: unknown version".
Research revealed to delete ALL " xx_help.txt" files. I had 3 - en_help.txt, fr_help.txt, and I cannot remember the third one. Deleted all 3 - xx_help.txt files, fired up the 1.4b patch and it proceeded to complete the patch error free. Installed GWX 2.0 and then yelled WOW! when I saw GWX 2.0 for the first time!  |
All I did to find the old post was to use this seldom used tool by some folks ....

This advice is DEAD ON correct.
