I'm trying to install the v1.2.0416 patch so I can use OBSE, but the install won't start. I close all other programs like it says, but when the loading bar appears, it immediately says Update Aborted.

What do I do?

What version of Oblivion are you using? There are versions for several languages, and 2 English language versions UK & US. they are different.

Also, many cracked versions will not work, and the D2D version will only work with a D2D patch.

Also, the best place to get the patch is the official web site, Here:
http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

Scroll down for the Oblivion patches.

How do I figure out what version I'm using? Also its not cracked.
Conradit0
Its version 1.0.228.

now what

Shameless bump, since I really need to install this to use the Deadly Reflexes mod.

Does it help if you know I'm using Vista?

Sometimes a security feature of Vista interferes with installing things. first you need to be running as an administrator. Then you may need to disable UAC.

Here is a link to a site that tells you how to disable UAC.

Vista users may have to disable a security function known as UAC. If you have downloaded and installed, and the mod is appearing in your Data Files List, but not in your game check to see if UAC is turned on. If so. Look here for instructions on how to turn it off. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...-windows-vista/

If your using SI you can instal the SI patch and it does the same thing

I second what coltaine says, if you install SI it will patch your game to 1.2.0416 even if you've got.... .... well.. let's just say a less than legal copy (even if it's legitimately backed-up).. It's not what I do *coughcough* but... *cough* some people do =] Mind you, I think you'll still need your disc in order for OBSE to run properly

WoW I got seconded lol

Yeah... Not that my copy isnt legit, my copy just WONT WORK!!!! lol

I don't have SI though, just regular old Oblivion.

And I doubt its a vista security thing, since this is the only game I can't patch and install.

And what if I lost my disc, and am currently using a no-cd key? Can I still install SI? If not, what
