Patch wants to load every time
WHen I start Multiwinia it's now downloading a new set of files (apparently the patch) upon startup. When I go to "Help and Options" it still says "Patch available. When I shut down and restart Multiwinia again it downloads the new files again.
It appears that my game is not recognizing that it's already been patched. Is there something I can do to fix this?
Thank you

It seems to be failing the installation.
What OS are you running?
If Vista, try running the Auto Updater with administration privileges (odd if so, considering Vista should be ASKING you if you want to give it the privileges anyway).
Also, just to make sure, don't ever press the play button on the Auto Updater, this can interrupt the install/download.

Well, that means the patching failed. 1.2.0 is the version currently handed out.
Check that you have sufficient writing rights in the installation directory (for example by trying to create a file there). Check that the autopatcher is not running in some compatibility mode. If you don't have write rights, start the autopatcher as administrator. If all else fails, download the complete current version from the main website.

as bert said check if you have the sufficient writing rights. if you don't add yourself Member of : Power User in the computer management console.
administrator rights isn't really necessary as this is why ppl's machine get compromised anyway by running everyday task as Admin.

It doesn't appear that I have a autopatch_debug.txt in any of the multiwinia directories. I do see 3 backup directories as if Multiwinia has been backed up. Those directory names are :
09/27/2008 04:34 PM <DIR> backup_20080927_01
10/15/2008 04:49 PM <DIR> backup_20081015_01
10/26/2008 05:12 PM <DIR> backup_20081026_01
I am running as an administrator and I can create a file in the c:\ProgramFiles\Multivinia directory.
I'll do a search for autopatch_debug.txt to see if It's anywhere else on my hard drive (maybe in a temp directory)
I'll let you know what I find out.
And thank you for the kind responses. I appreciate it.
