Multiple Installs?

[Akillos]

I'm not sure where to put this, but here seems like a good spot, since this is used by people who use a number of different TC mods. I've noticed a lot of people have multiple installs of RTW, to be able to play multiple mods like SPQR and RTR. I tried to install a second copy of RTW, by opening the CD and opening setup.exe, but it asks me "Are you sure you wish to remove RTW?". How did you guys do this?

Remove your current installation.
Reinstall.
Copy the entire folder.
Rename your original to clean or something.
Name your copied folder to the name of the original.(Rome - Total War)
Install whatever patch you want to the original.(If you want to play a mod that uses 1.2 and then play BI you will also have to make a 1.2 backup as it doesn't let you reinstall 1.2, but lets you reinstall other patches.)
Each installation will take up about 3GB.

Example: (you want to play RTR, BI, and EGM.)
Remove your current installation.
Reinstall.
Copy the entire folder.(x3)
Rename your original to clean or something.
Name your copied folder to the name of the original.
Name the other 2 to smething else or move them.
Install 1.2.
Move or rename your 1.2 version.
Rename one of your copied folders to the name of the original.(Rome - Total War)
Install 1.3.
Move or rename your 1.3 version.
Rename one of your copied folders to the name of the original.(Rome - Total War)
Install BI.
Install RTR to your 1.2.
Install EGM to your 1.3.
Move them all to Activision.
Make shortcuts.

Or you can do this. It's really good if you don't have much room to spare. ( like me )
