GTA3 I had 3 versions; Stock, Old Cars & Newcars. Same with VC, and probably again with SA once they start modding vehicles whole rather than skins).
How are multiple installs stored in the registry? I'm sure something can be done.

Have you tried (shameless plug) the Generic Mod Enabler? Prior to writing it I tended to install a game once, then copy and paste it, thus essentially creating a "clean backup". I then left it alone. Then, if the modded version became corrupt, I just deleted it and renamed the backup (by recopying). Haven't had to do that for quite a while though, 'cause the Mod Enabler helps me out.
