So I must defer to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=how+do+I+install+SPORE+patches
It looks like the patches are executable. So all you do is double click on them.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit and I have been trying to install patches for a pucker, paid for version of SPORE TM - albeit two years old now. To cut a long story short, I have had troubles with updates or "patches" and EA recommended to download the necessary patches from FileShack until they sort out the problem. This I have done but I was not given the option to "run" when I downloaded so I "saved" to my desktop. Now I don't know how to "install" them. Can you help? I tried to "open" them on the desktop but was simply asked what programme to open it with. No idea.
Awaiting your assistance.
