installng RS2 in a different folder.. is possible?

[DAVIDE]

Forgive my ignorance, is possible to install Roma Surrectum 2 in another folder different by the RTW vanilla one? i mean i'd like to keep the vanilla game in vanilla folder and RS2 in a copy of the vanilla game located somewhere else as Activision/Roma Surrectum for example...

I made a copy of my vanilla RTW folder and placed in somewhere else then I installed RSII...so I still have vanilla and RSII...
It doesnt matter if both folders have the same name as long as they are in different places in different folders...

My install looks a s follows

C:/Games/Activision/RTW...............this is RSII
and
C:/BackupVanillaGames/Activision/RTW......this is vanilla with RTW,BI and Alex...and I can launch them just normal...

you notice they are not in Programs...thats cause I use Win7 but I would recommend make seperate folders anyway instead of throwing all games into Programs...same goes for BackupVanillaGames(I have created this for all games where I install mods who break the game)...and like a 1000GB Harddrive is just 40 € nowadays...who cares about HD space

just make sure you dont create shortcuts before moving/copying folders...
create the shortcuts after you placed the folders where you want them to be otherwise they may get the wrong path

If you look at the Release Notes and specifically the Install Instructions I've installed RSII onto a copy of RTW - we even recommend it.

The information you needed is in the pinned / stickied threads.
