How to Install Base Game + Expansions - 3/13/2016 6:20:28 PM

Hello. I am trying to install the game on a new computer - I own DW + Legends + Return of the Shakturi. I got a new link for DW and have my registered download links for the 2 expansions. I installed the base game, no problem, and it ran. However, when I installed the expansions in the same directory the game no longer responds (clicking the shortcut or the program now does nothing). Also, do I need to install a patch on the base game? Before or after I add the expansions?

What I'd like is a sequence, such as

Install base game
Install expansion 1
Install expansion 2
Patch base game...

As I am at a loss as to how to do this properly, or whether things have to be done in a specific order.

Both wrong.

Assuming you don't have Distant Worlds: Universe, follow this installation order:

1. Distant Worlds
2. Return of the Shakturi
3. Legends
4. Shadows
5. Patch 1.9.0.14 for Distant World Shadows:
