Download the full install. For some reason you install failed.

That would be caused if stdshape.res is not being patched correctly.

I have seen viruses change stdshape.res and causing it not to be able to be patched.

I thought the usual problem was some anti-virus programs?

That can happen on exe patches.

Another culprit can be the anti-virus you're using. Even worse, it can be the remains of the anti-virus that was pre-installed in your computer - all brand names have them and some bigger builders as well. I've seen removed McAfee do very strange things starting from preventing Windows from updating.

In such case running the removal tool from the anti-virus manufacturer should (not guaranteed!) take care of what's left of the normal uninstalling procedure.

Still plausible. Installing from scratch will create the folders needed so the anti-virus won't interfere with the process. The background protection activity can change the attributes of the installed files and folders, making them read only - locking them against changes in layman terms. That will effectively prevent any updates! A similar feature can even be an option in your chosen anti-virus, potentially named something like "program protection", hidden deep in the settings.

Just run the latest patch as administrator it's in the Aces High temp folder.
