What did you download exactly? The 1.07 version only patches 1.06.

Read carefully, you need to step throug the versions.

HCE runs in parallel to HPC. You can download and install CE separately,
though it will need your HPC disk and cd-key. It will also need to be
patched, from http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/ind [...] &game=halo or
similar. Then, download .map files from http://haloce.gearboxgamezone.com or
any of a dozen other sites and extract them to the /haloce/maps directory.
