I have a 2005 V1.0 US dvd edition of SH3 - Windows XP

I deleted all of the SH3 files and reinstalled
When I try the 1.4b patch (the US dvd version) it won't run - I get this error

c:\program files\Ubisoft\Silenthunter111\data\menu\de_help.tx t:unknown version

Ubisoft sdays the previous patches have to be installed in order but the GWX instructions say not.
ANy ideas? (I'm not a computer guy - I just like the game)

Thanks

Im having the same problem. Have not tried with GWX (yet), but i get the same problem when i try to install 1.4b.

Only difference: im running windows 8...

WELCOME ABOARD!

First, did you let the game install itself into Program Files? Windows 7 and 8 don't like you fiddling with PF. Instead direct the game to install to your main drive, but outside Program Files.

Second, how new is the game? If the date on the box says 2008 or newer, it is already fully patched, and trying to add the patch again will only mess things up.
