Felt a hankering to play this old game so I slapped down $10 and downloaded it from GamersGate. Installation went just fine, but the game will not patch itself. The 'Update' button leads to this:

The patch has been aborted
So, I googled 1.68, found it, downloaded it, but it won't install...says it can no be loaded into the current version of the game.
Solutions?
I found the thread that claims to have updated patch links...they are for Linux. I am on a Windows 7 machine. So please don't refer me to that thread, I tried it already.
Surely EA/Bioware would not sell a game that cannot be updated...
