Two installations on same computer?

hi! could someone please tell me how to have two separate installations of SS on the same computer?

I'm in an ongoing SS6.3 hotseat campaign and I want to start a new game in SS6.4

thanks!

If you want 2 SS's on the same computer, just rename the SS folder file something else, like SS test, or SS 2 and run the installer agaain. It should make extra copies as long as the pathname is different.That way you can have mutiple copies on you computer. Just change the name of the one you want to play to 6.3 and leave the other copies with different names. I have 4 copies.

It is usually easiest to name them for their function- IE, I have C:/SS/6.3 and also C:/SS/6.4 and then D:/MTW2/BC and D:/MTW2/CoW

Wait, so this is what I did

I renamed my original SS6.3 installation to "SS6.3a" instead.

Then I reinstalled SS6.3 to a new folder (the default SS6.3 folder was created) and installed 6.4 to that folder

But now when I launch 6.4 I get a CTD. (6.3 still works fine)

Have I missed anything obvious (before I uninstall and reinstall everything again?)
