2. It is possible to have several Versions. Just rename one dom_206.exe or whatever you like. Be sure not to play the same game with different Versions though.

Not quite that simple. I'll have to 'hack' the entries in the Windows Registry too, for the Version that is already installed before I install a second copy, else the second installation will overwrite the first's settings. (5 years experience as an installation engineer has taught me a lot about the Registry.) Even so, I may still have problems with the keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\Dominions2" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSIS_dom2inst", since the key names are hard-coded and do not change based on user input during installation. Which, speaking from my experience, is bad installation programming practice. |
