Right. The installer is one of those irritating copyguard things that checks the system registry keys for the location of FH4.exe, then installs it to that folder. If you installed it on an old computer and just copied the folder to a new computer without running the installation, or moved the folder somewhere else after installing so it doesn't match what's in the system registry, it will refuse to continue with the patch. Use the add/remove programs to uninstall, then reinstall from the original disk before patching, it's the only way it will work.
