Conning Tower upgrade bug in OM

This is the readme on the download page. and it says to install it 4th, I've never played that mod so I don't know the correct order for them all.

Operation Monsun Hotfix1
Description:
This patch fixes issues with conning tower upgrades. It should be installed 4th.

Readme File:
OM V715 Hotfix 1
This Hotfix will correct the problem of the �corrupted� ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file when a user receiver a Conning Tower upgrade for one of the following Uboats: Type VIIC, Type IXB or Type IXC.
The root cause of this problem appears to be entries in the Equipment.ucp file that reference �Gato� based equipment in the �EquipmentSlotType� fields. These entries are present in the �stock� SH4 files, but where for the most part done away within OM, �except� for the reference to the Uboat compressor. I believe based on testing that the system detected this entry during the conning tower upgrade and added �Gato� class sub equipment to the ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc vice the correct German equipment.
Install instructions:
For people that are currently on patrol in the effected units listed above, you�re going to have to make some manual edits after you install the Hotfix to ensure that the problem is corrected. For users of other types of subs or starting a new career the manual edits are not required.
1. �Only� install inport
2. Install Hotfix with JSGME
3. Go to Documents and SettingsxxxxxMy DocumentsSH4datacfg
4. delete the following three directories: UCPInitial, UserPlayerContext and UserPlayerContextGE ( they will regenerate when SH4 starts )
5. Go to Documents and SettingsxxxxxMy DocumentsSH4datacfgSaveGames and find the directory with the most recent saved game.
6. Open ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc with wordpad and look for the following entry:
NameDisplayable=High Pressure Air Compressor
EquipmentInterval=1900-01-01, 1999-12-31
EquipmentSlotType=GatoComp
ExternalLinkName3D=NULL
Change EquipmentSlotType=GatoComp to EquipmentSlotType=NULL
7. Save your changes and restart SH4.

PS The link works for me.
