The instructions for Winzip are not helpful either. I bought the pro version and it keeps asking me if I want to use the evaulation version. I just sit there and stare at it like a dog wanting thumbs and all I want to do is go shoot down das Brylcreamers.

i use winrar (you can get a free evaluation version), but 7zip works fine as well. i dont know why people are having problems with winzip, unless they altered the default extraction settings for it, all those programs pretty much do the same thing
when you un-compress (or open and then extract) the patch file, to prevent confusion just first extract all the files/folders to a newly created empty folder. during the extraction process it will create a bunch of new sub folders with all the files in the right places
you can then copy the root folder (the newly created patch folder it all unzipped to, which i think is called "parts" ?), and then simply use copy/paste to paste that folder (and all the files inside of it) to the folder with the same name in your current game install location. it will then over write whatever files are needed to be replaced (and your pc will/should ask you if you want to over write certain files, just say "yes to all"), and it will add/replace whatever new files the patch contains
its all pretty straight forward as an install process, just make sure you copy the files/folders to the right location
just ask if still not clear
