You cannot have only the base game. You must install at least one of the other expansions or stuffpacks, and it doesn't matter which one(s) exactly.   In other words, please do the steps from #2 to #5 from that guide, andif done correctly, you should be able to get the game running after that. Good luck, and feel free to keep us posted !
