Ah, finally, there is the problem. I was using the wrong 64 bit patch. 1.2, I'm very happy to say, is working flawlessly. Greatest thanks to evilbob, PR, Zeta, predator, and anyone else I'm forgetting for bearing with my endless questions. I'm very much looking forward to playing this.

7-Zip is what I recommend, it will deal with just about any compressed file type too.

I downloaded the patch, and it's a .rar file. I'm not sure what exactly this filetype is. How do I install it?

That's the one v1.2 implements, predator. To be clear, no patching is necessary for PR v1.2 (vanilla, yes; other mods, inconclusive).

Did you have to use this unofficial patch on your Windows 7 machine?

If so, what's the installation procedure? If I already used the official patch, should I uninstall and reinstall before using this one? And I assume this unofficial patch still needs the PR team's compatability download for the 64 bit patch?

Some people may not be aware of this but there are 2 64 bit patches for FOC. The unofficial one can be found here. I use this one because I find that the official one does not work with some mods. It also includes the no cd

Use one or the other, using both might make FOC unstable. I am not responsible for any problems you may have as a result of installing this. works with windows 7.

Thanks for all your help evilbob. I'll keep trying stuff I suppose. I'll get it eventually.

Edit: An interesting result I've found. Vanilla FoC runs fine with the FoC/Data/XML file correctly named, but when I rename it to LMX, even Vanilla FoC won't work. Doesn't that mean PR should fail automatically as well?
