Okay folks, looks like if your path is messed up for various reasons in the registry, you need to uninstall and then reinstall and just apply the new patch.

You can find detailed uninstall instructions in the sticky thread of that name.
 
The registry path should point to the main HOI2 folder where you installed the game to. Try installing to the default drive and directory.
