1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
I bought Gold (1.78) and have 4 PBW games using 1.78.
I've downloaded the patch.
Now what do I do?
Like do I keep my current SE4(1.78) for PBW games and use the game installer to install a duplicate set of SE4 into a file which I then upgrade to 1.84 so I can see the marvelous things you guys are talking about.
I have absolutely no idea what to do, so please do not presume I know anything.

Re: 1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
Yes. Exactly. You can have separate installs of Se4, one for 1.78 and one for 1.84. You will need separate installs if you are in more than one PBW game if all yoru game owners don't upgrade at the same time.

Yes this is probably your best/easiest option. Run the installer and when it asks you where to install the game change the path to something else.

Re: 1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
yes, if you want to keep different Versions of SE4, you need to make a second installation and patch that.
You can use the patch #3 on the fresh install. No need to apply patch1 and 2 first.

Re: 1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
Thanks guys. 
I had absolutely no certainty on what to do. I just guessed on the dual installation.

You seemed to imply other options. What would they be?
