Yep.
You must copy and rename the exe.

{snip comment after KO's Last post}

So any other changes to files in the directory tree are backwards-compatible?

I have no problem with my two installs of dominions, although I admit I haven't tried to uninstall them. Amusingly enough I was somehow running one copy through a shortcut in the other copies directory, so my saved games went into program files but the exe I was actually running was in the games directory. And here I was thinking I was at least half computer-literate and I go and do something like that accidently.

This is definitely a problem... I've seen a unit paralyzed (2) remain frozen solid for 12 rounds of combat !! It would be great if this was fixed too.

I didn't see mention of fixing the (turn 2?) scales bug and the AI not building forts bug. Were these addressed?

So to be 100% clear, if I make a renamed copy of my current dom2.exe and then patch, I can play 2.06 with the renamed .exe and 2.08 with dom2.exe? Nothing else is required to have two Versions?

I've never seen paralysis wear off. Even units who've received Parayzed(1) from Astral Shield (easiest way to test paralysis) never recover. I haven't tested MindbLast, but I imagine it works the same.

This is especially nasty with Petrify -- which is essentially an area effect Paralyze without a MR save.

[Edit]By my tests, this still happens in 2.08

I now have both 2.06 and 2.08 installed on my system. FYI, LordArioch, you won't be able to properly uninstall the first copy unless you do some Registry hacking. OTOH, after you uninstall the 2nd copy, all you really need to do to get rid of the 1st copy is to delete it's directory tree, since the Registry entries would be purged during the 2nd copy's uninstallation.

I can continue my Utgard AAR now, with 2.06, and patiently wait (grumble, grumble) for 2.09 ...

OTOH, I can play nations besides Utgard with 2.08 and enjoy all the neat changes that IW gave us! So many new things to try out! R'leyh should be significantly more difficult to play with the reduced-duration Mind BLasts.

The link to the Linux Intel patch does not work.

I can download the Windows patch all right, but not the Linux patch, so it must be a bad link.

(I'm surprised that nobody else noticed before me!)
