Crysis patch 1.2 Windows wrapper error 1642

[Splinterdog]

I have two versions of Crysis, my original DVD version which is running 1.1.1.5767 and the Steam version 1.1.1.6156 and I'm trying to install a mod on my DVD version that won't run on the Steam game, but requires being patched to 1.2.
However, when running the 1.2 patch I get a Windows error as per the screenshot. I have no idea what this means in spite of searching, however at Guru 3D someone said that version 5767 is v1.2 and 6156 is v1.21, but I have no way of referencing that.
Has anyone else come across this issue? And yes, I've Googled plenty.

iirc it dose not support 64 bit OS, did you try to run it on a 32 bit OS ?

You're saying that the patch itself is only 32bit?

With respect, that's another issue altogether. I'm already running Crysis in x64; it's the patching I'm talking about, because I know that you can run 32 bit patches in an x86 OS.

Sounds like you are trying to run a patcher expecting the 32-bit binary, when you have an x86_64 binary. It was so painful to get Crysis working the last time I played the fun sections of the game, that I've never tried again to get it working, a shame.

Appears the DVD patch won't work on the Steam version...

I think your answer is here: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/crysis-1-2-patch-wont-install.299764/

EDIT:

Due to Supersnake bumping this thread, I was able to fix the issue. I tried many ways of fixing the issue with no luck until I read the above post regarding the Direct2Drive. What I ended up doing was a fresh install of the crysis wars game then I proceeded to download the Crysis Wars Patch #5 (Direct2Drive) from this website http://www.fileplanet.com/213911/210000/fileinfo/Crysis-Wars-Patch-

For me this fixed the 1642 issue that I could not get rid of. Hopefully someone else will read this and have the same luck as me.

The game is on GoG also, don't know if it has those issues.
