Patch error (help please) -Rage included-

Alright, I know this is a long shot, but I am raging so hard right now I'm going to take a hammer to my hard drive.

I got the patch (13) downloaded but when it applies I get this error:

"The source data for a patch file could not be located. (Patch: "base\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\TriggerLibs\NativeLib.SC2Lib". Output: "Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\TriggerLibs\NativeLib.SC2Lib".) (CopyPatchConverter::Repack)"

I redownloaded the patch, no dice. If anyone has any idea what to do that would be great, I can't post on Blizzard's Support forum because of the reset, now I don't have a profile to use there. If someone would post for me asking for a solution I would greatly appreciate it.

Now for the rage story because I'm sure everyone would love to laugh at my misfortune:

I got back from an out of state trip last sunday where my car broke down (costing me $450) thinking "at least I can play some SC2 once I'm back." I get back to find I need an update. "Oh well, just a little longer." I download the patch, and wait while applies it for over 4 hours. Bummer. After going to sleep, tired of waiting I wake up monday morning to a frozen computer, and unfinished patch... Bummer. I restarted my computer and the patch process and went to class, only to return to an error message (that I later found on the blizzard forum was due to me making a backup of my beta folder, which confused the updater) so I began the long process of reinstalling the beta... RAGE.

Fast-forward to wednesday, I've literally spent all of monday and tuesday night troubleshooting the stupid-ass blizzard updater that refuses to function on my computer, finally wednesday night getting up to patch 12.1. Thursday I play a few games between school work and check team liquid to find out about patch 13. "Cool, wonder how that'll affect the beta," HA! Wouldn't I like to know. So today the patch comes out and I get this new-fangled error that gives me the impression I'm going to spend another few hellacious days reinstalling, and reupdating the game before the beta ends on the 31st.

I just want to play SC, give me a fucking break.

reinstall the game - clean install - and don't use 3rd party software

I offer two possible solutions:

1. Here is my base.SC2Data file. Which is what the error dialog says you are having trouble with. Download it and extract to ..\StarCraft II Beta\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data

-My Base.SC2Data is patched to the latest patch 5/22
-Once you put it in the directory try to run the game.
-Try to install patch 13 with it
-If it fails, read on.

Base.SC2Data

If that does not work:

2. Uninstall, restart PC. Install SC2 Beta to a NEW directory DO NOT let it install to the default.

Use this site to get patches quickly again if Blizz Downloader locks up or is too slow, follow the intructions on the site: http://forums.battle.net/thread.h...ostId=243992802391&sid=5000#0

Ok, made progress, I think if someone can put up their "battle.net.dll" file from their support folder I can complete the update, it's the last obstacle I'm facing. Help is appreciated.

games are pretty much unplayable atm on battle.net anyway, so don't sweat it too much

Regardless, I am on the last file of the new patch, I want to get it done before the beta servers get back up if possible. Just to get it over with.
