Windows Vista: Installing SH3 and Patching 1.4b

Make sure you are running the patch on a clean installation. Mine wouldnt patch because, even if I had uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times, I hadnt completely deleted all SH3 folders and some GWX files were still there even after uninstalling the game (yes, I didnt read the manual and tried to install GWX on a 1.0 version). Giving the patch program admin rights is also a must. And if you are using a no-cd patch, I think it breaks the patcher too.

Reinstalling the game a lot of times its lame, but try once more deleting the game's folder after uninstalling it, and repeat the whole process again (oh, and I dont know if it's neccesary, but I rebooted my computer after installing the game, before applying the patch)
