Ok, so I did, and it kept asking for file locations, so I just pointed
to the respective files to be patched.
It compiled ok and started running ok.
I disconnected the network and let it sit for 10 minutes (more than the
5 minutes you indicated earlier that it would try), spewing out its
complaints and after reconnecting the network it re-established
connection.

In short: it works.
