Yes, it is best to alter the install folder, such that when you get to the part about the install path, and whether it has

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft \Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific

or if you are using Steam

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam \SteamApps \common \Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific

or whatever, it is best to edit that path such that you have one of your own creation, such as

C:\Games \Silent Hunter 4... etc

or

C:\Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4... etc

or with Steam

C:\Games \Steam \SteamApps \common \Silent Hunter 4... etc.

Whatever the case may be, just eliminate the "Program Files" references and have it install where you want. I even change the name of the game folder itself from Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific to something more concise, like SH4, or if I'm modding the game, I will name it after the mod I will apply later, and then use MultiSH4 to name the Save folder after the mod, but now we are getting into the Weeds of Complexity (aka: WoC), and that can really WoC a person up... get your feet on the ground first with a good install outside of Program Files, then go from there...
