Have you tried checking the map file? It may or may not be corrupted, or could be 'missing' which may result in that error.

I've checked, map is there and I'm able to open it just fine.

I am not sure what it is called in english, but it might have the protected attribute so it can't be overwritten?

If you have modified that map even the slightest tiniest little bit, it won't patch. I've had that problem a few times, with looking at an official melee map and accidentally saving.

You mean 'Read only.'

I highly doubt that it would work; you'll probably have to reinstall, at least I had to when I did this. However, it would be best to try it anyway. I would upload the map, but I have the wrong hard-drive in.

No no no, don't bother yourself with reinstalling, get somebody to send it to you, I've gone through this.

You got someone to send you a patched version of the map, you would have needed a version of the map from before you patched. Anyway does not matter.
