Theres nothing different that you could have done. Basically when ever a new patch comes out if you haven't installed and patched before then you are damned if you patch and damned if you don't. Fresh installs cover a wide range of patches based on when the CD was made and there is no server code compatible with any of them. So you have to patch but you have to wait for the patch to become supported. Which is why we tell newbies in the guides to patch as part of the set up because they have to, but then we tell everyone not to ever patch again until they hear that it is ok. But of course tons of people ignore or forget that part adn keep patching all the time and screw themselves.
