As Pisces says set your install directory to c:\games\SilentHunter3
Just installed it in windows 8.1 and it runs flawlessly though I use a separate drive for games ie. D:\Games\SilentHunter3 along with SH3Commander but yea you should be good to go.

In my experience running the game as admin isn't neccesary, provided the game is not installed into the Program Files folder. Also compatibility mode isn't required in my experience.

Running the game installer, the patch, the GWX installer and the SH3 Commander installer do need to be run as admin, as that is a requirement for a Windows installer program. Running (the latest versions of) JSGME seems it also requires to run as admin.

I'd also suggest running the thing in compatibility mode. Couldn't get mine to work until I did that.
