How Do Players Get the Poker Patching Utility?
Players will download the utility by clicking a link on the poker client splash page.

How Does it Work?
The Poker Patching Utility searches the player's computer for files named "upgrade.ex_" with the following attributes :
File Version = "1, 0, 0, 0"
Product Name = "Poker upgrader"
Internal Name = "Poker upgrader"
OriginalFileName = "upgrader.exe"
File Size < 128KB
The utility also searches for and patches files named "upgrade.exe." When the utility finds matching files, it extracts the correct upgrader, replaces the old upgrader, and continues searching. When the process is complete, the Poker Patching Utility notifies the player that the utility has finished running and they can now play poker.
