P.S. The game was installed (I've temporarily removed it til I get this sorted out) on my old XP home (SP3) computer.
Sound to me like you have ID'ed the issue - the Game is installed in one place and the patch another - they need to be the same.
Originally the HPS Games were installed in
C:\Program files\HPS ect ect
But with VISTA came MS issues regarding security - specially security in that folder. So now the games are installed in C:\HPS ect ect NOT \Program Files.
If you fix it up but putting the patch over the Game, whereever you have it - you should be OK - but avoid installing games in \Programs Files if the PC is new and has Vista or Windows7

The machine that I'm running it on has XP Home (with SP3). The 1.02 exe file goes to to the default C:\Program Files\... destination (at least I think that it does) when you open it. It's the .pdf Help file that goes to the new C:\HPS... location when it's opened.
How do you do a manual install? I've been patching these games by double left clicking on the installers.
