Cannot Install Patch - Catastrophic Failure Error!!!!!

[Phoenix3000]

Guys,

I finally installed SH4 this evening (Collectors Edition).

I then rebooted the PC, then ran the game - its as choppy as hell! - I have a high end laptop (Dual-Core Dell XPS M1710, 512mb graphics, 2mb memory etc. with XP Home SP2) and all graphic settings are maxed out. Tried others, but no matter what settings I choose its still too choppy.

So, I then tried installing the 1.01 patch. Just as its finishing I get the following error appear on screen:


Feature transfer error

Feature: Install Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific

Component:

File:

Error: Catastrophic failure


It only has an OK button on it. Once clicked it dumps you back to the desktop.

I then uninstalled the game fully, and reinstalled after another reboot. Again launched the game, then attempted the patch - exactly the same error!!

I also downloaded it again, this time from another site, but the error remains.

Please, please, please - does anyone know a solution???

Cheers all - this is SO frustrating!
