LOL.. YES!
I swear I have my family and friends come to me all the time with computer problems. Now if I tell them what to do, and they do exactly what I told them... it wont fix it.. But when I go to their house and raise one eyebrow at their box, it yields in submission and promises me personally it will never do it again.
I have installed and ran the game in the past, though it has been a couple years now. Im not familiar with any sort of requirement to run any patch to get the game to work. I mean hypothetically it should be put the disc in, follow onscreen instructions and viola~!
With mentions of things like Unofficial patch, and Winzip extraction this seems to be on the borderline of illegitimacy, which Im not condemning and I do respect would make the effort more complicated, but I wouldnt feel comfortable helping to troubleshoot something of that line in such a public way. If that is the case the only thing I could suggest is, check the source of the files, reread the readme files for instructions, or the source where the files originated from to get hints on how to do it. Also.. I still doubt you need an unoffical patch. I can honestly say ive never once patched any offline game ive played on a PC and never had a problem, with the exception of NWN which I patched in order to upload and download custom modules.
