When I bought Victoria (ages ago) the only way to buy was in the shop; so I got a German version of the game. I have been able to update the game to 1.3c, but there doesn´t seem to be a possibility to upgrade to 1.4 as it says that English files are required. Therefore Revolutions can´t be installed. Is there any way to get this done with the German version?

If you edit the registry you can change the language to English then you should be able to patch to 1.04. Installing the English patch will make all the game text English.
e.g. in my registry I have:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Strategy First\Victoria]
"Install Path"="D:\\GAMES\\VICTORIA"
"Version"="1.00.000"
"Lang"="English"
(Strategy First is the publisher in North America; yours will be either Paradox Interactive or the publisher of the German version.)

Yeah, it worked 
; I had to reinstall the game though (turned out to be version 1.0b) but then everything was running smoothly. Thanks a lot!
