I dont know if this is the origin of your problem, but if you are under Windows 7, you may have a problem of write protection of program files when you extract the patch, depending on the tool.
To avoid that kind of trouble, I extract the patch in a temporary directory (in my case on D: disk, reserved to data) and I just use the copy facility of Windows 7 to copy the files from the temporary directory to the Steam game folder, allowing to overwrite files if necessary. I do the copy in an administrator user account.
I prefer that kind of approach because you are sure of the way copy function handle write protection, which is not always true with other tools.
