I'm affraid you did a big BOOBOO actually Very soon the new GWX1.02 patch will be released and in order to add it to your game you will need a clean GWX1.0 version without the Dec-updates. I'm affraid you will need to uninstall and re-install GWX soon. Moral of the story: Always enable mods via JSGME, as that way there is no chance of something going wrong. If you don't want/need a mod you disable it and you have a clean installation.

Obviously if you just want to play GWX with the Dec patch you should be OK. If you had other mods installed as well you might face some problems
No, that is not the case. The GWX1.02 installer will happily install over any previous version of GWX UNLESS you installed the patch via JSGME.

In that case, it gets upset NOT because the patch was installed, but because JSGME is not "clean", which is a requirement in order for certain mod files to be updated.

If players have installed the Dec patch *directly* into their GWX, the installer won't care and will happily continue.

Hope this clarifies.
