I have an original (used) copy of "Emperor: RotMK". The problem with the patch is:
1 - I installed the game normally and it run without any problems.
2 - Reading the forum, I discovered the existence of a patch and wanted to install it.
3 - I downloaded the patch from HG server, ensuring I was downloading the ENG version, as it is the version of the game.
4 - Once installed, the game does not run, and the message "Wrong disk inserted" appears. It is the same disk used to install the game. I also tried to launch from the disk, but the game also says "Wrong disk inserted".
5 - I could not uninstall the patch only, so I uninstalled the whole game and installed it again from CD.
6 - The game run normally again.
7 - I made some tests and discovered the patch deletes "Emperor.exe" v 1.0.0.0 and overwrites it with "Emperor.exe" v 1.0.1.0. This second executable is newer and bigger, so I concluded it is necessary to run the patch files.
How can I solve this?
