Have you applied the workaround described in posts 6 and 7 in this thread?

Patch.exe does not need admin privileges;  it's the heuristics built into Vista
which assumes that executables which do not have a manifest and have certain
strings in their name - such as 'patch' and 'setup' - which causes the elevation
prompt.  Adding the manifest above stops Vista applying this heuristic; patch.exe
then runs using the invoker's privilege.
