Download all parts to the same directory. You can mix parts from different sources, but the file names need to stay the same. You can use any directory other than the game directory.
Start the included .exe file. At the start it will verify if all of the downloaded files are in order. This can take a couple of minutes to complete.
Click the extract and run button. This will extract the actual patch install files. Usually it's fine to leave the default directory (a new folder will be created for the extracted patch files). This can take a couple of minutes to complete.
Eventually a UAC prompt should appear. When you click Yes the patch will start installing. When asked for the installation location point it to where your game is installed. If you bought the game on Steam, go to your steam library > properties of the game > view local files to find where the game is installed.
You can remove the downloaded and extracted installation files now if you want.

In case you didn't notice, there's a patron-only KKManager update server available here. Try using it if KKManager updates are slow or fail to start.

If you can't extract the patch or the extracted file is a single, corrupted archive: Make sure you downloaded ALL parts to the same folder and that the parts all have the same name. You need ALL parts for the archive to open properly.
If you see any messages about corrupted files you'll have to re-download the offending part (or all of the parts). Try using a different download source.
If the installer asks you for another disc, it means that your download was not extracted correctly and is missing files, or you renamed or removed some of the extracted files.
Make sure that your antivirus is not flagging and removing the .exe file.
If you have problems with the .exe you can use 7zip to extract the patch. After downloading all the parts, extract the .001 archive and provide the password listed above. Use the latest version of 7zip to extract the archive, some other archiving programs are known to have issues.
