patching dilemma Edit: fixed

Just bought SoaSE yesterday and tried to get it working today.  After some registration problems I finally have it up and running and just started patching it to 1.12 (I think that is the latest patch) using impulse.  It finishes, gets to 100%, and then says verifying download. 

And it hasn't changed.  After 40 minutes I went to try it again and the same thing happened.

Is 'verifying download' supposed to take a century?  Am I missing something? 

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:  Fixed!  Thanks to Annatar in a different thread.  Don't really understand why you would need to run as administrator... whatever.
