Patch Question

I have a couple of questions about the RCT3 patch on the main page of www.rollercoastertycoon.com ...is it for the latest versions of RCT3 to come out in stores (the main version of the game, not expansion packs), and in order to install it, does it have to be saved to the rct3 folder where the program itself is?

Thanks in advance, I've forgotten how to do all this ;)

I've always just updated via it's Start Menu folder.

no you can save the patch files wherever you want. the patch installs will install automatically into the rct3 directorys...all you have to do is double click and let it install.
