It is clearly using the patch meant for SP1, and you have SP1 installed
when getting the error.  There is no problem with the registry entry
selection.

I have SP1 with the KB926601 registry entry and it works fine.

There is something very strange going wrong with the patching process.
I had coockie_jr send me a tarball of his header files and they were
byte-for-byte identical to mine.  I even applied the vc8sp1Include.patch
file that fails for you two to the very tree I extracted from his
tarball and it worked.

Do you have cygwin or another patching tool installed?  If you manually
copy your header tree and apply the patch does it work?
