Do you the patch file in the SH4 folder? Right-click on the patch executable, and then left-click on "Run as administrator". Windows defender or other AV might be flagging it as a virus or worm, especially if you have the disk version of SH4 installed in the default path of "C:\Program Files (x86) \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4..." Windows does not allow "un-authorized" alterations in the "Program Files" folders. You could un-install the disk version, then re-install it, but pointing it to a different install path outside of a Program Files folder, such that if you carefully edit the path dialog, you could do "C:\Games \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4..." (or some-such). That way, Windows won't hit you with the UAC and "protected" system folders.
