You need to install the CD version first
Try disabling your anti-virus or make the SH4.exe an exception in your anti-virus firewall.

I have already installed it. And played for awhile...then I remembered you could download patches and mods and such.

Do you the patch file in the SH4 folder? Right-click on the patch executable, and then left-click on "Run as administrator". Windows defender or other AV might be flagging it as a virus or worm, especially if you have the disk version of SH4 installed in the default path of "C:\Program Files (x86) \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4..." Windows does not allow "un-authorized" alterations in the "Program Files" folders. You could un-install the disk version, then re-install it, but pointing it to a different install path outside of a Program Files folder, such that if you carefully edit the path dialog, you could do "C:\Games \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4..." (or some-such). That way, Windows won't hit you with the UAC and "protected" system folders.

yes I have it in my silent hunter 4 folder. and when I try and open it, even as a admin it says "a admin has blocked you from running this app".

What is the path to your Silent Hunter 4 install? ie: "C:\Program Files (x86) \Steam \SteamApps \Common \Silent Hunter 4..." is the default locationl. ??

Naw, that's the properties of the short-cut on Windows Start menu. Which version of Windows do you have? Getting to the actual program path in Windows 7 is easy, just by right-clicking on the Start Menu's short-cut for the program, then choosing "Properties", and looking on the General Tab, you'll see the path in the "Target" box. In Windows 8 & 10, it is a bit different...
