C:\Program files\chessbase\Fritz6 and also choosing repair if you have installed a previous patch. Following is the actual text from Chessbase. "This is how you install a service pack: 1. Download the file for the language you require (click and then "save as..."). 2. Unzip the zip file on your hard disk. 3. Run the file setup.exe, which you have extracted from the zip file. Fritz has to be in the original installation folder. The setup software will automatically locate the folder for the update. 4. The last service pack supercedes all previous ones. So if you install Fritz from the original CD and then upgrade it with one of the service packs below you with then have the very latest version of the program. 5. If you have already installed a previous service pack, chose the option "Repair" in the setup software. This will overwrite all newer files. 6.To check if the upgrade was successful open Menu: Help - About Fritz. It should now show Jan 9 2001." Sarah.
