Who is the publisher of your version, thier logo will be on the CD.
 
I bet you actually DLed the German version of the patch.
Since English language and SF version do not have language option.
Ar eyou sure you got a legit copy, did you buy it from a retailer you trust?
Delete the patch from your HD then DL the patch from this link.
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/files/patches/vic/Victoria_english_103.exe
and install it.
 
The german version is dual language so you have the option to install in English or German, but infact you have to play around with the files inorder to get the original to install in German.

Had you patched the game before with an earlier version of a patch?
If so I would wipe the game from my system, then check the registy to make sure the entries there were deleted by the uninstall, then delete all folder associated with the game, and then do a fresh install from the CD and then just apply 1.03 from the link I provided.

Here are some details on manual uninstall.
Uninstall Victoria
 
Great!
