Note: I've extracted all 'patcher' files correctly.

Just tested it again with firmware 3.5.0.: same result. Which is stange, as this version always created the final archive.

I think this is my machine / W8.1 Pro releated, not the patcher files.
I don't know what caused it, so I can't fix it.

OS: W8.1 Pro (x64)
So interesting you bring this up. I just had the EXACT same problem yesterday on my Win 8 laptop. I ended up using my Windows 7 work desktop and it went easily and smoothly then.

Poor Skydog on here was so very kindly trying to help me. (Thank you again, skydog! You're an angel!) I couldn't understand where I was going wrong. It was so baffling why it wasn't working for me. I finally sorted it by switching computers.

I hadn't thought of using administrator mode, DNSB. That may just be it.
