Maybe I misunderstood but it sounds like you made your second install by copying and pasting files.
That will not work because it must be in your registry or will CTD.
Sorry Wulfmann, but it does work. That's how I did it. And both installs are working fine. The problem turned out to be the NYGM 2.2 overlay patch. Once I got the new full version of 2.2 it worked fine. And Dan helped me with the switch issue with SH3 Commander, so now is all good!:up:

Adding another install by using the repair method above also works good but will give you an unpatched install

No sorry Sgt S,
I am always happy to learn something new.
Had I not posted I would not have seen this other method which will be easier so I am delighted to be wrong.----------- again!
It won't be the last time!:hmm:

No problem my friend. You can do this to any game or program. Copy & Paste keeps the file integrity just fine. I do it a lot in my wargames when patches come out and I'm waiting on PBEM files from those who have to play catch up. War in the PAcific is infamous for this. At one point I had 4 different installs going at the same time.
