The main problem is I can't even unzip the update with RV already loaded on my computer.

I'm sure the next suggestion from HPSsims is "Unzip the update prior to installing the game."

There is something wrong here if that is the advice I will get.

Thank you for the thought though. It's very frustrating.

Hmm, it could be that windows 8 doesn't natively support zip files anymore as far as opening them up and looking inside... At least not without a zip program like WinZip. I can't test this on my win8 system as I already have a full version of winzip installed.

By the way are you attempting the update from the Desktop or the Windows 8 metro UI start menu?

I will try this tonight and see what happens for me.

I first install the game, than download the update zip file to the RV folder, than "Extract". No joy.

Then, I reinstalled the game and tried to unzip the update on the desktop so I could just move the extracted files to the RV folder. It didn't like that, despite the original .exe file being in the trash file.

Go figure.
