Posting this as keep seeing the question come up and people don't appear to search to hit prevoius posting of this. Maybe this topic should be made sticky.
For patching 2005 follow instructions below and where ever 2006 is mentioned substitute 2005.
99.9% of problems involved with updating are because the files have been modified for some reason or see (4) below. To save on space the patched files are just the differences. If any files (even if not needed to be updated) are different the update will fail as it assumes it is the wrong version. So if you changed backgrounds, added commentary, hacked the database using ArtMoney, etc. this is the problem.
To restore the original files you have to
1) Uninstall the game.
2) Delete *ALL* files and directories in the ICC 2006 folder apart from the Saves folder which has your saved games in it. This step is crucial and is normally the one missed out. UNINSTALLING ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
3) Re-install the game in to exactly the same folder so it will pick up your saved games.
4) Disable any virus software protection. Norton Anti-virus is known to be incompatible with the patch and silently prevents it from working.
5) Download the update again by selecting Internet Game.
6) Do not switch to another application whilst downloading the patch. It is recommended you run ICC full screen.
7) Re-enable virus software protection.
Note if you have the Softwrap version you will have to enter your reference number again after updating. This is normal and can not be prevented. Note the update also works fine if you are still in the middle of your trial period.
I will state the following as a matter of fact but I am not implying that anyone posting here is doing this - 'The update will not work if you are using a No CD patch or a warez version'.
Note if the problem you are having is that the download gets stuck at x% then whilst the above method would work (and is needed if any files are changed) you can try deleteing the sr607-609.cpf or em608-610.cpf in your ICC 2006 directory. You should only have 1 of them.
The patch can not be made available independently of the game as there are several different versions of ICC 2006 and each one requires a different patch.
If after following these instructions you still can not get the patch to work then another process may be modifying the files. Try running the update on a different/friends PC.
