1.1 Patch error: Catastrophic failure


Recommended Posts

I installed "Contract J.A.C.K." (Official 2 CDs) on Windows 10 Enterprise x64 LTSE 1809.
Then I install patch 1.1 ... an error occurs: "Catastrophic failure".
It is now impossible to uninstall the game through the Windows Control Panel.
***
Usually the “Catastrophic failure” error occurs after installing the "Contract J.A.C.K." game from the official CD  on Windows 10 if you installed the game without Administrative rights. A similar error occurs in the Nolf2 game, more details here:
