You need to uninstall both, since mods like CORE are not supported.
Install vanilla versios and then patch DD with 1.2 and HOI2 with latest pach.
 
Don't install CORE.
Patch DD to 1.2 then install and patch HOI2.
Then when it all works, you can install user mods.
 
If you patch your DD BEFORE you install your HOI2, then obviously it cannot install to your HOI2 folder.
You could also change the registry entry , or zip the HOI2 folder or even rename it then install the patch and then revert to the correct name.

I do not see anything in there about patching to 1.1
Did you try installing patch 1.2 before 1.1
1.2 is designed to be patched over a clean install.
Where was the DD installed to? what drive and what path?
Did your install of DD from the CD create a registry entry?
Did you search to see if there is a registry entry for regular HOI2 still in the registry?
 
My advice was to patch from fresh install.
 
Some that ran into that situation could patch 1.0 to 1.2 but not 1.1 to 1.2
 
Check the Manual uninstall thread for how to delete registry entries.
