Can you get to the Properties page with the "Target" box? Or are you getting a Windows "url" location?...

Tell you what, never mind about all of the details then. Just navigate back into your SH4 game folder where you put the patch file. Once you are in there, press the <CTRL> key, and while holding it down, press the <A> key. That should select all of the files in the folder. Now right-click on any file name, and choose "Properties" from the resultant menu. It will open a "General" tab of the "Properties" dialog. Toward the bottom of that little window will be "Attributes", and you will probably see a "Read-only" tick box that has a partially-greyed check mark in it. Click in the tick box to clear the tick mark completely. Click on the OK or Apply button, and another little dialog will pop-up and ask you if you want to apply this to all the files and sub-folders. Tell it yes. That will take a minute or two to run. Once it does, double-click on the patch executable file again, and see if it will run and "take" OK like that. I have my doubts, since it is Windows and a "Program Files" folder. Let us know what happens. It might run, it might not. If it does run, Windows might still change it back to the way it was. If it does that, then we'll try to help you copy and move the game's working "install" folder.
