There's a fairly straightforward workaround:

 in the same folder as patch.exe, add a file named 'patch.exe.manifest' which
has the following content:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"/>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>
</pre>

Two things need to be borne in mind: you need elevated privileges to create
this file in the right place (otherwise it ends up in your personal virtual
store, which is not the same folder); also, check there is no 'run in compatibility
mode' setting on patch.exe before you create the manifest.
