Does this mean I have to completely uninstall my original RTW first, losing saved games and my own mods?
There is another alternative. Do whatever reinstalls are necessary to get your current 1.5 directory working again. Then make a copy of the whole thing. Here's where it get's tricky. I've heard that there's a way to copy a downloadable set of 1.2 files on top of 1.5, and that will return it to the earlier version. Do some forum searches to find those instructions, and be sure to downgrade the copied directory, not the original.

Failing that, you still don't have to lose your saved games or any user created files. I'm a little unclear on everything that's removed via the uninstall, but you could always copy those files you wish to keep over to a non-RTW directory for safekeeping.
