Installing BI WHILE RS is installed?

[General Frum]

I am not to confident about doing this.

So, does anybody know if it will work?

If you have already installed RS1.5, installing BI will destroy it. Better to create a copy of the original RTW folder, install BI into it, and then RS1.5...which will, BTW, break BI.

Always keep a clean (unmodded) version of RTW on your PC. Simply copy that install to an new folder and apply a mod to the new folder. it does take up more space but with modern PCs space is not usually an issue.

I personally keep each mod (including mod foldered versions) in their own RTW folder - so it's multiple copies of the RTW install. I keep a clean RTW 1.5 RTW BI 1.6 and also a RTW 1.5 RTW BI 1.6 RTW ALEX 1.9 install - the 'official' folder (and the registry) has the latest version as the Alex install.

The thing is, BI never gives an option for an install path, it will just install it into the folder that RTW was installed into, it auto-detects it.
