Star Trek: Armada II dual install
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 9:45 pmas you can tell in the title, I would like to have 2 installations of 1 game (kinda like 2 installs of FS) ..... the only thing is, I would like them BOTH to be on 1 drive.
I know that i have to rename the .exe as well as create new shortcuts to that renamed .exe.
what I can not seem to be able to do, is install a 2nd version of the exact same game. when i put in the disk, it asks do i want to PLAY, RE-INSTALL, UN-INSTALL.. etc etc etc. If i choose RE-INSTALL, it will try to uninstall/re-install everything that I just changed.
Proposal.... I want to modify 1 version so that it is different from the other, but i want to be able to play BOTH at separate times. ..... Both require the same disk in order to play.
Do I need to put them on separate drives in order to do this? Or what do I need to do?
