Duel SH4 install on Vista

Dustball · 08-22-09, 04:40 AM

OK, time for the N00b question of the day..

After cutting and pasting and modding and trimming and unmodding and patching and upgrading and otherwise hacking the ever lovin' b'geebers outta SH4, I've finally decided to do it the right way and stop fighting with my system to get things to cooperate and run properly (including multiplayer, though that was fairly easy with help from www.portforward.com).

So, here's my question.. how do I get a duel install of SH4 set in place so I don't have conflicting installations? My original plan was to install to different directories, but it still raises the issue of possible errors in the registry that may not reflect the proper path to the proper game location.

I basically want one stock install and one just for modding.

Thanks!

Hopefully you didn't install the game in the "Program Files" Folder, but a separate folder. Then all you need to do is to create a new folder and copy your main game folder into the new folder, install stall Multish4, like Irish1958 said, and you are good to go.
