Nope, it automatically suggests /Program Files/Dominions3, no matter where the game is installed.



How to find out where dom3 is installed on your machine (on a Windows machine). Instead of left-clicking the shortcut to launch the game (ie no matter wether you have the shortcut on desktop or in the Start menu), right click the short-cut icon and from the pop-up menu select Properties (the line lowest down in the pop-up menu). When the properties open, you will see where dominions is installed (for example it says "D://Games/dom3" on my machine).

Then just launch the patch .exe, click the browse button before extracting, and select the folder you found above.
