Can't seem to install pre_b13_base.zip

I downloaded and unzipped it, then looked inside for an installation readme.. couldnt find one. Im assuming this is the most up to date full version. Anyways, I copied the extracted contents into the pirates of the carribean folder so that it all lined up, as I believe it should be (modules overwrites modules and all that) then I attempted to load the game. It didnt make it past the storm engine 2 window before it said "runtime error: C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\ENGINE.exe abnormal program termination"

So I figured It must not be compiled or something, so I went fishing around and couldnt really find anything.. so I clicked on English.bat thinking maybe that's the compiler.. after that ran (which I think I saw some errors or something but it flashes on and off so quick I couldnt read anything) I still had the same problems.

So I uninstalled POTC, Deleted the POTC folder and all old mod stuff, Reinstalled, and tried it again. Still getting the same problem.

Am I trying to install just a 296 mb patch on a bigger mod, or is there something else i'm failing to do? Not having a readme in this one is pretty annoying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
The installation instructions are on the Downloads page of my site. First install Build 12.1 and make sure it works. Then install the Pre Build 13 Base install on top of that and check it works. Finally install the 16 August update.
 
I got it working yesterday after I found someone else' post.

I do have one other thing i've noticed.. I am playing and found a level 45 npc in a house on cayman island. When I went to talk to him it says in his dialogue window "I can't load dialog file [john Coxon_dialog.c] assigned for me"

exit

Im assuming it's a broken quest.
 
Screwface added lots of characters to the new islands, but he didn't finish all the dialog files. I suppose this is one of the unfinished dialogs.
