Ok, I've solved the patching issue, although I really don't know why it worked. Here is what I did.

I completely uninstalled OOTP8, and then manually deleted any remaining files I found in other folder locations. In Vista, OOTP8 is installed to 2 main locations.

1) User/documents/out of the park developments/ootp8/data
2) Program files/out of the park developments/ootp8

BTW; in Vista, the auto uninstall only uninstalls the components in the

`user/documents/out of the park/ootp8 path, which is not the main game engine path.

I had to manually delete the actual game and config files from the

`program files/out of the park/ootp8 path, myself.

Then, I reinstalled using the main OOTP8 setup. Somehow, miraculously, the version that existed after the fresh install was version 8.0.013!!

I didn't have to separately patch the game, it just installed to the current version.

So now I am plumb tuckered out, and I am going to start up my ultimate league, and play OOTP8, while waiting for OOTP9!

Here's hoping this info might help someone else.

The main thing is if you're having trouble be sure to completely uninstall all installed components, only then will you get a true, fresh install.
