Actually that's a good idea but it won't work. What you have to do is do a normal install into a /Wolves of the Pacific directory. Then after installation, THEN copy the whole kit and kaboodle into your /SH4 Pristeen directory. I write protected directory and all files within so I couldn't mess it up or play it.
Now you have the installation directory, properly installed and with necessary registry keys for it to be played, and the Pristeen directory as your piggy bank so you'll never have to reinstall again. I also put JSGME and MultiSH4 into my pristeen directory.
I'd keep mods out of the pristeen directory and just save the compressed mod installation zip files in a separate piggy bank directory for that.
You don't have to worry about losing saved games or game settings when you restore your game files, because they are saved in your My Documents folder.
