Some say you need to go through all the updates, one by one. I've always just found dropping the 1.7 exe in the CoD4 file and have not had issues (Not sure about other versions.. CoD4 only). As Crunch is saying, you may have to have admin rights. All the files are in XI download section though. 

Once you get it up and running normal. Copy the CoD4 file and save to disk or email. You can avoid these issues. At the very least, save the 1.7  exe and profiles. Mods will always reinstall upon joining any server. 

Edit, Install PunkBuster files too if needed. Even though it's not supported anymore, some servers still require it.

Steam gives you 1.8 you may just need to downgrade to 1.7 easy to do:

you need to go to your files and remove the 1.8 and replace it with that patch or download cod4x it works better and you dont have to fuck about with files

1.7 is only one patch you need 1,6 that contains all of them 1.1 til 1.6   then just update to 1.7

 

on a cd version this is the only way  you NEED the 1.6 patch  this is the way on steam it might be diffrent becuase it goes to 1.8 instead

but really all you have to do is join any mod when you are on 1.8 and cod 4x will be installed so you can join games in 1.8 and 1.7
