How do I make multiable installations of DW?
 
I need a V1.01 and V1.03 installation. Renamed my V1.03 directory and installed a fresh one on a different drive but now both .exes use the new installation for their files. How do I get my old one to point to the origional files and the new one to point to the new files? :damn: :damn: :damn:

Reinstall them seperately, but when asked if you want a shortcut on your desktop creat, select NO. Once the install is complete, use My Computer and creat your own desktop short cuts with different names.

Should work as long as both versions are installed in seperate folders.

You can have the answer HERE
It works real nice and although it may sound confusing, it works good.
I have two installs nnow running on my PC with no trouble.

:) Yep TL that Regedit stuff works real nice - just dont forget to wipe the existing entries first before re-entering
the alternative game version ones. It can get real messy, so its not a bad idea to keep a note alongside the
start-up icons of where youre at.

Heck - sorry ' Grandma sucking eggs' stuff - I guess you're more organised than me anyways. :roll: :yep: ;)

Renaming directories can frack with the registry files that you need to switch between. I strongly urge you to start with fresh installs into the directories already named as you want them to be.

Its ALIVE its ALIVE!!! :D
Sweet, thanks Furia, Bellman, ML etc. I installed fresh copies for both versons and made the Registration Entries files and I got a working V1.01 and V1.03 games.

BTW I like your sig ML. It reminds me I got to get the two seasons of BSG on DVD soon... :yep:

Mau 12-22-05 04:24 PM

You mean the second season is out on DVD??

What a great serie!!!

I love it!

TLAM Strike 12-22-05 04:25 PM

I think it was released on the 20th.

Molon Labe 12-22-05 09:53 PM

Thanks TLAM, and yes, it was released on tuesday.

There's some other cool banners I picked up that have scenes from the series with Adama's speech from the pilot superimposed on it. I hope I can find one of Six/"Gina" on the floor of the brig with a different part of the speech, though... the part where he asks if our race is worth saving.

Here's one:

spectacular sigs. :roll: :o :rock:

Very worried about the decline in creativity with signatures.yep

Can noone beat the that 'Machine Gun Mog' - you know the 'Killer Cat' - the maniac puss ? Hmmm

Pigfish had a splendid missile launcher but that disappeared with Kaps Lennie and Lotte the purple sheep.

Still the superb MSGallilleo penguin slapper takes my award for originality. But noone challenges these folk
they strut there stuff - the style setters.

Can anybody top them ?
Well Molon has :|\ :rock: :up: :sunny: The Americans deliver ...............................again.:ping:

Molon Labe 12-22-05 11:55 PM

Booyah! Too bad I stole it...
