Yes. Just copy and paste it and create shortcuts in the start menu,although there arent registry entries.

Be carefull with the savegames. As both will access the documents folder. You can work around it in Windows 2000 & XP by holding shift and rightclicking on the second shortcut and selecting "run as" from the menu. This way the second install can use a "second user" so to speak.

I see Run As without holding shift when i rightclick.  Why do you say hold shift?

 

Also, that run as is a good idea, but i have made it my plan to NOT use all my save spots, as thats confusing.  It is a good idea though, if you want to save after each mission, then write a little text file saying what missions are completed in the pack (aka step by step savegames).  That way if you do a mission much later on but you missed out, you can go back to the exact spot.  And, you could put it on a website, so people who want to play the game but cant beat 'one mission' could go play yours.  Whatever.  I might do that thing, it would involve trees though, either Cortez or Averys missions.  Probably not, i dont have THAT much time on my hands.
