no.

You only really need the *.dat files. Copy them from your current installation (or from the CD if available) to a new directory and install the latest patch on it.

i deleted the uplink directory with the *.dat files... but uplink is still in the system. i know that was silly^^ do i have to install uplink in the given directory: C:\Programme\Uplink ? because i changed the directory at the first installation. there's only a setup on the cd no *.dat files... should i formate my hdd? sorry for my bad english i'm german and it is a long time since i was in school^^

No you should be fine, just chose the modified Uplink folder location for the patch to install. Also on the CD there is perhaps the linux version that have perhaps the .dat files.

Try the Latest Patch currently 1.49.

Perhaps you should list the files in for Uplink installation directory.

the same as with the other patch... what do you mean with: "perhaps you should list the files in for uplink installation directory" ?
