GWX3 -- reinstall truly neccessary? starforce issues ...

I've been offline now for 4 or 5 years, and haven't had specific luck searching for an answer to this question yet, tho have found some interesting info ...

I bought SHIII years ago for $40 (thus don't want to purchase new SF free version grrrr) and had such problems installing it that I believe it killed my CD burning drive. Ubi was no help and I eventually cajolled SF support to tell me about SF removal tool. Got it working. Been playing with GWXII for some time now, SHcommander, etc ... and just learned of GWXIII today, and of course I WANT IT!!!

however, i am extremely hesitant to re-install from dvd for fear of destroying my new DVD Burner (which is the drive I would be using to install from)

what I DID do, tho, upon original install, was make a backup copy of that install so I could go back to it without re-install. I have used that method to play with several other mod installs with no problem. So ....
can I just install GWXIII into THAT install again? or are there too many incidental/external files that I absolutely need a total un/re-install?
I've also got JSGME, SHIII Commander, and SHIIIGen, running.

checked out the recent thread about the whole NoCD/NoSF deal .... definitly will be wanting that too i think.

sure hope i don't have to 'do the dance' (as falconers used to call it) again, just got the DVD burner not 4 mnths ago

thanks for any and all help in this matter .... hope i'm not rehashing rehashed hash ...
