Possible to install a 2nd copy of WoW on the same computer?

Mr. Furious · 05-12-2008, 12:36 AM

Hey all,

Is it possible to install a second copy of WoW on the same machine without creating a second bootable partition with a second OS installed?

Thanks!

make another folder on your computer, and install that copy to that folder.
youll need some way to tell what shortcut to use though

Cool. I thought that might work but I wasn't sure if the installer checked for previous installs or not...

Thanks!

LOL....no, tired of spending 4 hours reinstalling every time my wife messes up the game by installing all the UI add-ons and other crap she can't live without. I figure if I had two locations she could still play after she wrecks one and I can reinstall the other at my leisure.
