I can't verify this from my own experience Steve, but I'm about to install the patches myself and I read that you must be sure to unzip the patches into a separate directory because the installer counts the number of files in the directory and will not proceed without the correct number. Again - I can't verify this. It just seemed like it might be applicable.
