Will Dark Avatar install over the top of Dread Lords?

Or will it be a seperate install.

As the title suggests, will DA overwrite DL allowing only the expansion to be played?

Or as in the case of C&C Generals & Zero Hour, does the expansion install along side of the original allowing you to play either game as you wish, without the need to uninstall if you want to revert back to the original game.

I have found having both versions of the game (original and expansion) available to play without uninstalling anything to have a bit more life than just complete overwrites. Keeps things fresh being able to revert to the old game, as im sure some of us every now and then still put up GC1 for a while too.

DA installs as its own executable in a subdirectory of GC2's directory. It does share some of GC2's files, so GC2 will need to be updated to the latest version available. But GC2 itself will remain separate and playable in its non-DA state.

Mine installed two seperate icons on the desk top.
One for each game and they work.
