Hello. Can anyone help me? I reinstalled the game, but it is impossible to patch it now. Game downloads the patch, but roughly in a half of instalation some error report says something like "cannot open the key ....... check your rights to this key ..." and instalation stops and go back. I reinstalled the game three times, downloaded the patch separately, but no luck. I have to say that previously the game has been patched without any problems. Maybe wrong unistall? But I clear all, what I have found. Anyone knows the way out? Thanks a lot. I have Win 7 64 bit OS.

If you've turned the User Account Control off or to the option that removes the notifications, turn it back on to the default.
Also, I recommend installing your games to a directory outside the Program Files or Program Files (x86) directories to help prevent installation and patching problems in the future. (IE: C:\Games\)
I've seen far too many tech savvy people complain about a game or program not working right in Windows 7 and Vista and the User Account Control being off ended up being the culprit. No use complaining about UAC as it actually works right in Windows 7

Thanks. I am gonna try to reinstall the game to another directory. I have always my UAC to default, not off. I do probably something wrong elsewhere.
..... Renstall to another directory did not help.
