Did you change each patch installer's path to point to your new folder as I said above?:

Now try installing your game in its own folder under C: in a new folder you create yourself (call it C:\mygames\spmbt say). Then install all the patches there too - you will have to tell each patch installer where your game is, as they expect the regular \Program Files\Shrapnel Games\... etc.
i.e. in the screen where the installer says "will be installed in the following directory" use the navigator widget to set the target to your new folder, and not the default.
