How do I install SH3 so I can have more than one copy?

Ahoy mates,does anybody know how to install SH3 more than once without it deleting the original copy? I have done it before but I seem to have forgotten and I would like to have a couple copies of the game running different mods.Thanks mates.

Copy the Silent Hunter 3 folders in the Ubisoft folders. Then paste it with another another name.
Like this, you can run many modded SH3

Find the game folder on your hard drive. Usually it's Program Files/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter III, IIRC that's the default location when the game is installed from the setup.exe file.

Create another folder on your hard drive in whatever location you want to put the new install in and give it whatever name you want the new installation to have.

Copy all the files in the original game folder to the new folder.

Worked for me!

That would be awesome, can you put a RN aircraft carrier in my path? Preferably without escorts.
