How to have 2.06 and 2.08 on the same machine at once

Which is why, IMO, despite instructions otherwise from IW, I feel it's safest if people have two completely separate installs of Dominions, one 2.06, the other 2.08, in separate directories. Instead of the IW-approved method of running the 2.06 .exe from inside a 2.08 directory tree.

EDIT: if you do this, install 2.06 first, then install 2.08 in a separate location, in that order.

Your advice is only important if one wants to start new 2.06 games.

I keep 2.06 around for MP compatibility, so I don't plan on starting any new 2.06 games.
