2 X SH5's Possible?

swordfish1 · 01-13-11, 12:43 PM

Is there any way that two versions of SH5 can be installed on separate hard drives without conflict, so I can keep my existing fully modded one and another with Magnum Opus Beta loaded for experimentation etc. to avoid frequent 'modding/unmodding' of my original?

Any help & advice gratefully accepted.

I dont think so. Google: "install program twice on same computer"
Anyway you can still use JSGME to load and unload mods easilly..

It's definitely possible, it depends how much time you want to invest.

I don't believe SH5 stores anything in the registry or system folder (I could be wrong). I would try running the installer but point to another installation folder.

You'll want to use another user account to avoid destroying your save games.

note: Make a backup, you could potentially wreck your initial installation.

Thanks guys, sounds a bit dodgy to me, I think I'll stick to JSGME. and run with it, don't want to mess up my current set up which is working fine.
