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.

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

Other options.
Buying a second computer for the different Versions.
upgrading anyway and cause a PBW delay while the others get around to the install.

Re: 1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
Well you could get all 4 of your PBW games to update to the new patch. 
Sorry I guess there really isn't another option unless all your games get upgraded. Unless you want to install one Version, play a turn, uninstall, etc ... etc.

Re: 1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
Thought of another way that didn't work.

Re: 1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.
Note that the autoinstaller for the patch doesn't cope well with multiple installs.
Look very closely at what folder it wants to apply the patch to; it will very likely pick the wrong one.
I had to type in the correct folder; merely selecting the correct folder from the list did not work.
