Fix Encore Version & Windows SP2

There is a fix available for the Encore version of "Chaser", eliminating one really nasty problem with Windows SP2: When installing the game, sometimes a message called "Could not load the DLL library C:Program FilesJowoodChasermath64.dll. Invalid access to memory location" can occur.

Instructions: run the jowoodchaser.exe and let it extract to C:. Run the Chaser Setup.exe from CD afterwards – installation should work correctly now.
