Patch is missing database update stuff, download the full version and upload the /install folder with the patch and go through the upgrade process.

What do you mean? I just uploaded the files from the patch set and haven't noticed anything. Didn't need an /install directory or to go through any upgrade process.

many patches do not make any changes to the database, like this one. It is simply patching the files with updates to the code.

Hmmm, I did the patch and didn't see anything. However my client did the same patch and had some weird stuff going on with the includes folders. 

P.S. Kevin...good job with the advertising Mr. Slick  ;)

Perhaps because I went from 12 to 13 to 14? Anyways it knocked my WHMCS offline with a down for maintenance error 2. I uploaded the install folder from the full version and that fixed the version numbering.

Yeah, the patch set is only from 13 to 14, going from 12 to 14 doesn't work without running the update.
