erm if the exe is protected (and updated from the patch), its considerably more than a 'few' bytes added, the whole thing is mostly different, due to the encryption used and so on.. most of the installers at that time checked the crc of the existing executable before updating it, if it didn't match.. then it wouldn't continue.. which is why we recommend to make the backup files of the exe's / files the cracks change before applying cracks, so the installers then work (after you rename the files back)....
