I can't install ANY patch because it doesn't even ASK for the installation location. I've tried a bunch of patches, all without success, and with the same problem - it doesn't display the patch installation location, and in the end, there's an error (not verbatim) saying "The patch was not installed because the game is not installed; install the game and then the patch." I'm playing a pirated version (v1.0). If you can explain what to do, write to me on Skype: cmeptb_xd or VK: vk.com/id123993522

A patch is an archive. It simply unpacks and overwrites files.
You can look in the default folder in Program Files and copy the unpacked files to the game folder, replacing the existing files.
BUT

Then the game will become a licensed version, and you'll have to crack it again (the .exe file will be replaced). It's easier to get an already patched version ;)
Use a licensed version ;)
