Looking for earlier Fritz 11 patches

[vindasal]

Hi, I just got my hands on Fritz 11 and I'd like to get the game patched up, however the latest (June 3, 2009) patch is broken. I was wondering if anybody here has a copy of an older patch they could provide or point me towards. The reason for using Fritz 11 is that it's the last version to support tablebase search probing for 32-bit engines, and I have a few I'd like to play with. I have a much newer version for serious work/play, but this old version is also still rather useful.

I know for sure that the patches are on the ChessBase Magazine discs from that era, when they still included them; however it's pure luck whether any are available on eBay for purchase.

As mentioned in the thread, there are some 3rd party releases that include an updated version of the Fritz 11 GUI (and of course, it's able to probe TBs for older .eng files). Here are some that are still available for sale and are really cheap:

I found a working copy of gui11.msi from Jan 23, 2009, if you are still interested.

I have original Deep Fritz 11 GUI with serial. It's working flawless, but I remember some update from 10 August 2010. I can't find it anymore, I have update only for Fritz 11 GUI, not for Deep Fritz 11. Not same DF11 and F11 GUI.
