The patch installer doesnÂ´t work or SH3 after youÂ´ve installed the patch? When does it crash and are there any error messages?

What I did was to delete the data folder from ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data on my lapop, and copied the Data folder from my desktop (which was a new install of SHIII, patch 1.4) to my laptop.
It worked.
