Thanks Marco. Actually the Units.txt should not be in the current release of the Earth Alliance as it was from a beta patch were "Percentage of Resources to Reserve for Unit Construction" line was not yet created. My fault.

Re: Gold Patch installing problem
Derb,
Unlike previous patches, v1.60 game files are not compatible with Gold v1.67.
To the best of my understanding. Here is what you need to do in order to patch your game in progress.
1) In admin options set your game turn generation to no automatic turns. Players must use v1.60. Once all player turns are uploaded...
2) Go to the admin. request forum at PBW and request that your game be upgraded to v1.67. Once they do so...
3) Generate the turn manually, the resulting turn files will be v1.67 compatible. They will not be 1.60 compatible. All players will need to patch their game to play using them.
About the patch:
In my experience it is far more "picky" than others indicate.
In my case it objected to an additional directory in my game folder created specifically for PBW saves and surprisingly to a downloaded shipsets folder.
Frankly, As someone else noted, you are best off moving all your stuff to another directory and doing a clean install of SEIV Gold before patching. Then reinstall your extras.

Re: Gold Patch installing problem
I renamed the original Gold folder and did a clean install, then patched the new install. I've got v1.49, v1.60, and v1.67 installed and working, but haven't tried to migrate any saved games yet.
[ Edit ] I've successfully migrated two v1.60 solo games to v1.67 now.

Re: Gold Patch installing problem
Well, I did not have any problems to run the patch. At the time I applied it, I had four installations of SE4 on my computer (1.49, Gold Beta, and two 1.60 (one with mods included and one vanilla, which was about to be patched). Sure enough after a quick scan the patch.exe found exactly the one that I wanted . Since the program asked for a verification, it would not have been a problem to select a different folder,either.
