Besides doing the regedit you have to also open the game at least once, then you can patch it.

No matter what I do I can't get the patch to install. The installer can not detect the game.

I can get the patch 1.05. Instructions are not clear :(

Maybe I can give some of you a hence, since I did the following mistake: I did not read carefully!
; ).

-> You have to start the game first, before trying to install any patches. Not even the "registry-add-trick" will help you if you didn't start the game at least once! After that, everything worked out fine.
