Current version is 3.6.0.8696, see Help > About to know version of your installer.
By the way, updated installer version is probably in folder with your client installation, I think it comes with client updates.
If we were able to modify older versions being already around Internet, we could fix those paths and would not need such thing. If I understand you well, this is not possible.
Besides, once you have the client installed and using the installer just to launch Ryzom, it is a little pointless. Patching client itself has nothing to do with the installer. The problem is only with new installations, please use latest installer version in such case.
