You post did not make a lot of sense. 
What publisher version do you have and what patch were you trying to install?

I was try to install the latest North American Patch, 1.07 or something, It is the 16.5 mb one.
What do you mean by publisher?
Okay the game came with the Crown of the North. It was a package, I mostly got it for EU2 though. I see three labels on the CD ENCORE, Paradox, and Stradegy First.
See the sticky thread at the top of this forum for details.

We do not support that version. However you should note that that version is equivelant to version 1.07 already and thus your inablity to install it.

I have the inverse problem
I, well my son actually, attempted to load EU2 onto our brand new PC and when he was finished there was only an empty directory. We attempted to "uninstall" but the wizard says that the files don't exist. Using the PC control panel I confirmed there was no EU2 to uninstall. When I attempt to install from the CD now, it tells me that the game is already installed and aborts. Knowing that my CoN version of EU2 is v1.07, I then tried to install the v1.07 patch. ( i thought that was clever) No soap! The patch installer informs me that the game ISN'T installed and aborts. i know that you folks don't officially support the CoN version of EU2, but I have a lot more faith in you lot than I do in SF. What is the CD installer looking at to determine, wrongly, that the game is loaded? Can I change that manually to get my game back! I've been playing EU2 on my old PC for months!! BTW, CoN loaded and runs fine on the new PC

Presumably entries in the registry, if it works anything like straight EU2. Search the registry with regedt32 for strings like "universalis" and "crown" that are unlikely to belong to anything else, and delete them. Make a copy of your registry first!
Well the 1.07 Patch would not do you any good since it is not a full game only a patch.

Can't get Patches
I have the UbiSoft disc, and it says EU2 version 1.04. Is there anyway I can get patches for it? It is also coming up with the title message for this forum.

This is usually caused by either trying to install the incorrect patch version.
Or the installer not recording the correct location of where you installed the game.
Solution.
Make sure you have the correct patch, Edit the registry files to make sure they have the correct path, uninstall and then reinstall to the default drive and path.
