I just tried to get my SH4 installed again, and update 1.4 failed with the big red Windows message "this app has been blocked for your protection".
To get this to work, I ran "terminal" (command prompt with additional admin rights) and ran it from there.
Instructions to elevate Command Prompt to Terminal:

I am going to use my setup here, which uses the T drive for storing the patch. Yours will be different !
1. Copy the info on the location of your 1.4 patch: In file explorer, view the location of the patch. Right click on it and choose "copy as path"
2. Right click on the Windows button on the taskbar, select Terminal(Admin)
3. press CTRL+V
It will show: PS C:\Users\[yourusername]> "[whatever your directory is]\silent_hunter_4_1.4.exe"
In my case: PS C:\Users\BadBat> "T:\Win 10 installed\SH4 original DVD\silent_hunter_4_1.4.exe"
4.
i. BACKSPACE and remove "silent_hunter_4_1.4.exe"
ii. type another " in on the end
iii. use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the start of the line
iv. type "cd " - it should now read:
PS C:\Users\[yourusername]> cd "[whatever your directory is]"
PS C:\Users\BadBat> cd "T:\Win 10 installed\SH4 original DVD"
v. press enter, and it should change to:
PS [whatever your directory is]>
PS T:\Win 10 installed\SH4 original DVD\
vi. Now type in:
.\silent_hunter_4_1.4.exe
vii. press enter, and the patch installer should start
