You have Windows7
You have IL-2 1946 installed in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
You now have a conflict with IL-2 and the Program Files folder because IL-2 and other old games are unable cope with the file permissions of Windows7 within the Program Files folder, mostly all files within your C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 folder are write protected and will not allow the patch to overwrite files that need replacing.

Solution..........
You need to do a complete reinstall of IL-2 to another location, DO NOT JUST MOVE OR COPY THE FILES OR THE FILE PERMISSIONS WILL GO RIGHT ALONG WITH IT, for example:
C:\oldgames\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
Then apply the il2_4111_ultra.exe patch
Then you are good to go.

You dont need to download the patch again, just make sure it is 1.96 GB in size, otherwise you have an incompleted downloaded file and then you WILL need to download it again, or resume the download.
