Description
Playin the CD Original French Version of the game,
with Scummvm 2.5.0
on Win10 (21H1)
When launching Grim Fandango French version with files copied from a clean and patched installation from CDs, ScummVM keep asking for the patch exe (gfupd101.exe) while it's not necessary.
The "clean installation" is done by using GrimSetup1.2 (https://quickandeasysoftware.net/downloads?download=GrimSetup1.2.exe&progname=Grim+Fandango+Setup), deleting the "MAGIC" registry Key and running gfupd101.exe.

This is intentional, to ensure that we do indeed get the patched versions of the game data, we enforce this by loading the data directly from gfupd101.exe. Extracting/applying the patch makes no difference.
The rationale for this is that it is a lot easier to ensure that users have the right version if we can simply ask that they have this file in the folder.
Closing as won't fix.
same. i just left the file there after patching
