b9AcE: thanks for the conformation. It smelled like a bogus file.

Veky: It might seem to work fine, but the only way that I'd trust that method is if they didn't actually change the EXE file between versions 1.0 and 1.01. Applying an old NoCD EXE over a new patch version is likely to leave you running the old version still, resulting in the following problems:

- Most (if not all) new features and fixes will not be present
- Potential problems may arise due to the other files that have been updated when the EXE has not
- Defeats the purpose of installing the patch in the first place

Of course, it will work fine in the (unlikely) event that Lucasarts did not release an updated EXE with the version 1.01 patch.
