Well, I just bought the expansion but I can't play it...

Read a few of these threads and none of the stuff posted was of any help.

Windows account is an admin account.
Running as admin for the main exe/autorun did not work.
Reinstalling does not work.
Windows media player is installed and up to date.
Internet Explorer is installed and up to date.

Of all the stupid things...

I managed to resolve this by uninstalling an editing program for another game which also used the .NET framework. I can only imagine that it botched my current install of 4.0 and caused DW to give me the finger.

Removing that program and the .net and reinstalling both DW/RotS and then .NET 4.0 fixed this.
