Re: The path contains Invalid characters

I'll gladly try and help, but first, you might actually want to explain what the problem is.
We're not mind readers.

We need:
-Full system specs
-What is the game/program you are encountering the error with
-What the exact error message you are getting is

Re: The path contains Invalid characters

yes, please specify the game you are trying to patch, anyway, this could be an error from the server you are trying to get the patch from, it could be damaged or missing files, try this site : www.gamespot.com
search for the game and download its official patch, u can also try these sites :
www.IGN.com
www.gamershell.com
www.3dgamers.com

Good Luck

Re: The path contains Invalid characters

It looks like a pirated copy with a poorly scripted installer.
