Win 2000 supports all of the Windows file systems.
It was a time stamp issue. Most of us had to re-install SEIV before applying the 1.91 patch.

As was already said, it's the time stamp. Damn winter/summer time. Your exe is just exactly 1 hour off from what the patch wants. No way around it except for reinstalling or get the exe with the correct time stamp from home.

what about re-patching with the Last patch? tweaking the daylight-savings-time option during the patch install?

Problem solved!

Changing the modified time on the file by 1 hour does the trick and allows the patch to update the Version on your pc.

I found a program that does it. It's called Filename Magic Pro. You can google that, or something else like it. I am sure there are others that will do the job, that's just the first one I found and tried.

Shucks, genius? I didn't figure out what the problem was after all.
