Patch.exe in compiling tools is broken in Windows 8

When attempting to patch the latest stable sources to the newest u level, the patch.exe asks for elevation before opening a new Command Prompt window for itself and stalling out...
OS: Windows 8 Pro (x64)
MAME Version: 0.147 (attempting to patch to u1, then u2)
Compiling tools version: 20120807

Probably a quick way around it is to rename from patch.exe to somethingelse.exe If that doesn't work, it sounds like you need to make a manifest file to cover usage of that or otherwise fiddle with UAC. I've never done it nor do I know how - but google should be helpful.

You could also just install slik subversion or similar and pull down the code directly from svn as up to date as you want... wouldn't need patch then.

Okay... did some fiddling with manifests to find out that patch.exe is requiring an elevated command prompt. Running it in an Administrator Command Prompt alleviates matters but patch.exe should not be requiring elevation at all, IMO (at least, it never did before Windows  .

That's because microsoft decided to monopolise the name patch.exe. That's why it's easier to just rename it.

Download this SVN tool from here at http://tortoisesvn.net/
Install it.
Click on this svn://dspnet.fr/mame/tags
Copy which version of MAME source that you want onto your hard drive. Just drag it. You can make MESS from that source as well.

I'm having this problem in Windows 7 now, just having re-installed my PC. I even tried copying the patch.exe.manifest I've been using since Vista into the new tools and got an error box. (See Below)
There's something wrong with the patch.exe supplied with the new tools, because when I renamed that patch.exe and used the old one with the manifest, I could patch without any problems.

Was the old one a 32 or 64 bit version? I think the manifest might have the type of exe, so if you were 32 and now 64 then I think the manifest might need updating.
On 32bit versions of windows you can't create a manifest to allow a djgpp version of patch, because it's run under the dos subsystem (64bit doesn't support running old dos apps anyway).

I tried changing the processorArchitecture in the manifest, but then it gave me an error related to SideBySide, so I used my GoogleFu (for it is strong within me) and found a CodeProject article about UAC where I found a simpler "asInvoker" manifest without the processorArchitecture defined and used that, which solved my problem.
For anyone still having problems, I've attached a zipped copy of the manifest file.
