You guys are really helpful.........not!!

There is a key within the registry that needs to be changed in order to be able to install the patch mentioned correctly. you can use regedit to get to the registry. The bad news - I have forgotten what the value is or what it needs to be changed to !! The value 233 comes to mind but i cant be certain. the key that you need to change reads something like Medal of Honor version = *** (where *** is the number that needs to be changed.)
Sorry if this is extremely vague but it worked for me after I found this workaround off the internet, at least its a place to start
hope you have more luck now.
