There have been a few threads about this, I had to totally wipe my game and all related SH3 folders and re-install to get the patch to work. I'm not saying thats what you have to do but its what I did and I read the instructions very very careully. I hope it works out, because its worth it.

The team did yet another fantastic job.

Good luck.

Somehow, somewhere you have screwed up your install of SHIII, and the installer has saved you a great deal of trouble.
What you need to do is:
1) save the SH3 file in your documents, or rename it.
2) Save your mod folder (in data\SHIII\mod) or rename it.
3) unistall SHIII, and delete the ubisoft folder in your program files
4) reinstall SHIII, 1.4b patch, GWX and patch 1.02
5) rename your SH3 file and replace it in your documents folder
6) open your SHIII folder and run JSGME
7) replace your mod folder in SHIII with your orginal mod folder.
8) in the future don't screw up your install of SHIII
9) I suggest you copy a fresh install of SHIII patched to 1.4b to your hard drive or a DVD. You can then use this to install a new copy of SHIII
