How many times, DON'T BOTHER WITH THE 1.5 PATCH. Pretend it doesn't exist. If you have BI installed, it's a pointless endeavour. Once BI is installed, you install 1.6. The 1.6 patch looks for 1.3 (RTW) and 1.4 (BI) versions and updates both. I still don't think you need 1.3, as installing BI automatically updates RTW to 1.3. Possibly the only patch you need before 1.6 is 1.2.

Anyway, I'd consider asking customer support if you still can't get the game to patch right. There may be a few entries in the system registry that need manually removing or something.

One thing that you should make sure is that you haven't changed any files before patching or installing BI. I remember I had modded RTW quite a bit before installing BI. When BI was installed many files weren't correctly updated and I had to uninstall and completely reinstall the game from scratch.
