Do I do this renaming stuff first before saving to disc for transferring to XP or after transferring to XP?
You'd want to do the renaming of the game .exe after you'd installed the game on XP. Don't try to patch a game before you install it.
But I wonder if "Rename Azteken.exe -> Aztec.exe"
shouldn't be "Rename Aztec.exe -> Azteken.exe"
You've got an English version of the game (which has an Aztec.exe) and a Polish patch, so your installed game will have Aztec.exe while the patch is looking for an Azteken.exe file to patch.
Also, if you've got the version of the game called "Sacred Amulet" and not the European version of the game with the original name "Aztec", the "Sacred Amulet" version might have a different game .exe. I can't check because I don't have the version of the game called "Sacred Amulet."
Anyway, since you're using a Polish patch on an English-named .exe, the point is to
1. Give the English-named .exe a Polish name so the Polish patch can recognize and patch it.
2. Run the patch
3. Name the patched .exe back to the English name so the game will work.
Let us know if it works for you.
EDIT -- For this type of patch, the patch should probably be in the same folder as the game exe when you run the patch. It's not like a modern patch that can find the game exe anywhere on your computer.

http://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1159024/Current_Re-Plays_and_PlaysThe MalwareBytes and Norton warnings for the links KSE posted are probably because they were hosted on 4shared, and MalwareBytes and Norton are blacklisting 4shared. When I try to follow that link to

http://www.4shared.com/zip/tXKNDzofba/AztecPL5.htmlthe patch file has long since been removed (the Gameboomers thread is from 3 years ago). These file hosting sites will remove files if you don't pay for a subscription. Anyway, whatever MalwareBytes and Norton are reacting to, it certainly isn't the AztecPL5 file that's no longer there.
