How do I install a patch on a program? (its a self installing patch)

Hi. This is such a basic question that I can't figure out that I didn't think a ticket was right for it.
For example: I want to patch Star Wars Battlefront 2 to the latest version. However, I can't figure out how to install the patch. How would I do that? With wine, it was really easy to install patches and mods. Here, I am lost. Curse user-friendliness. lol.

thanks!

So I take it that we are talking about an executable?

Either:

1) You do as if you wanted to install update in the same bottle, as if it were an independant software.

or

2) You use the run command dialog making sure to select the bottle of your software, and browse to the patch.

The point is to execute the patch installer in the same bottle as the software it is supposed to patch.

Thanks! I got the patch working, and even mods work now!

Good stuff, enjoy!
