Patches won't install on 1.9.0.1

[AEDELGOD]

Hello,

I have attempted to install numerous patches on my Magento 1.9.0.1 installation. So far the only one that took was SUPEE 5994 but it was for Magento version 1.6.0.0 (downloaded and install that by accident but it applied). I can't install the following: 7405, 6284, 6788, 6482, and 5344. They all report similar errors such as:

Every patch throws almost the same output like this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

So, I figured out the problems I was having with each patch I was doing and corrected them at each instance and I'm now 100% patched. So as a friendly reminder for anyone who is just quick to throw posts to ask before paying too much attention to what I was getting. Just read where each part failed and was skipped. It tells you exactly where it was going wrong. Do your patches in order as well (best practice is to go by release dates). Most of my problems were missing files or altered files, I like to keep code clean and bloat free, I guess magento disagrees, leading to all my frustrations. Also clear (or just refresh) cache after each patch install and verify all your pages are in working order and/or repair any pages that decided to be adversely affected by these patches, then proceed with your next patch and repeat steps as necessary.
