I'm not sure of the Type II, but the IX should work the same as the VII...
As for the Steam version, which ends up having the same basic "Windows restrictions", do NOT install the game in the Program Files (x86) folder. Windows "protects" several folders on the computer, including all of the Windows folders, Program Files, Program Files (x86), Program Data, and a few others that I can't think of at the moment. Any changes made to those "protected" folders by means other than an "authorized" Windows interface will be rolled back by Windows, which in theory, will render them null and void. The problem lies in the fact that Windows doesn't roll back ALL of the files, only those of certain "protected" extensions. So you might get a partial "activation" of a mod like that, where JSGME places all the files like it should, and then Windows comes behind your back and puts all the original CFG and INI files back, leaving all of the DDS files alone.
Steam uses its own "install routine", so use the Steam app on your computer to re-do your install to a different folder, if necessary. THEBERBSTER has a thread

and I've done a screen capture of my Steam app, as dodougla mentions in the above #3 post / thread:

It doesn't matter what folder you use, just so long as it's out of those Windows protected folders. I used F:\ Games \ Steam \ ... - I use "dot dot dot" there to signify the Steam folder structure, which is rather long... The game is found under the "Common" folder somewhere under "Steam" there, as you're well aware, I'm sure...
Let us know if that is not the case, because you really should be able to have more than one tube open in OM...
