I like the registry method, since you may have different desktop program groups, since it keep things distinct easier and if you want to jump back and forth between tweaks for a mission in one mod or another.

It's just allows you to traverse faster.

Also, if you do system level backups with either a FULL+INCREMENTAL or FULL+DIFFERENTIAL. It will quickly make your backups very confusing, in terms of recovering say a mission or save game, since things are not simply determined by time and location, but time, location, and context.

The JSGME approach I find good for many small mods that your routinely swap around and mix/match, but for overhauls and total mods, I just like multiple installs.

Since yesterday when I came back, I saw that many had asked about multiple installs. I just assumed the registry approach to flip the active install had been lost like chipping tools out flint.

As long as people are happy with their setups that is all that matters.
