Version 1.1.5.... GU.exe crashes??

Hello Fellow Mariners!

I just started playing SH5 but have played just about all the SH games as they have come out over the years. I have been reading up on SH5 and the many issues the game has, but looking through the whitecaps I see that it's gotten pretty decent as long as you can get it modded up and running well on your PC. I was at the start of trying to mod the game, but I ran into an issue. On my Main Menu screen SH5 shows that it is only at version 1.1.5. I tried running the gu.exe update to get it to version 1.2.0, but it failed and now if I try to run the gu.exe from the ubisoft folder, it crashes out and gives me an error "Silent Hunter has stopped working...." and will not update.

I bought the game via the Gamestop download option but it seems to install and run as though it was installed from the DVD. There are no "extra" DRM dealies as far as I can tell. I really would like to update to version 1.2.0 so I can get involved with all the nice mods that have come out for this game so I would love some feedback as to what I might need to do in order to get running with the mods.

I'm hoping I do not have to re-load and re-install if at all possible. I've put about 10 hours in already so if I could save that time it would be fantastic, but I lay myself at the feet of the Subsim gods and hope they can steer me in the right direction.

Thanks for any help or input guys! I appreciate your time!
