If I'm reading this right, you're patching each piece of software after you install it before moving on to the next? It would probably take much less time for you to install all the expansions and then patch it all at once. Successive installations are probably overwriting files you already patched with old versions off the disc.

Such good advice. Far too often have I had my hard drive hiccup and smudge a file or deleted something I shouldn't have when playing with dat mods and been forced to go through the entire installation process again. Keeping a backup saves so much time and headache.
