Sounds like a bad / corrupt file. Is there another web site it can be downloaded from? I did a google search but not much came up I tried a few links but they were dead.
It could be file permissions issue - you could try unzipping the file to a temp folder in your documents folder and see if that works.

The error you are getting is basically because the patch is expecting a certain version of the game and the game files are different to the expected version. This can happen for a number of reasons but not limited to; wrong language patch and / or game, game files have been modified / cracked e.g a pirated version, the multiplayer component is not installed, the game is a promo copy and not OEM or retail etc.
The game files can become modified if you have installed any 3rd party levels or mods in the past. Drakan is also known just to mess up.
I assume you have tried a uninstall and full re-install and are using a retail copy of the game or one that came bundled with some hardware?
As for the Drakan Gold patch I'm not sure, Axe might be able to help with that.

Drakan Gold 2014, that is a good question, if you are able to change the language after the install. Unfortunately No, Most games load a language pack folder, which enable players to change the settings. Looking at the cfg file, there is no way to bypass, the install of English, to Spanish etc. Also the files needed for Spanish would not have been installed.
That said, I would make sure your original disc is a full version, should be close to 700mb in size, if not then its a demo, or knockoff.
The issue is a corrupt install from the start otherwise the patch would install, by showing a directory too, in your picture.
Unfortunately all the versions I see for download are English!
