You'll be prompted to replace the existing files. Choose "Yes to all" to install the patch. Note that the patch will not affect any crucial or irreplaceable files (such as save games). If you're worried about being able to uninstall the patch, then you may want to create a backup of the Advent Rising directory beforehand.

Uninstalling
