How can i install FIFA08 twice?

[kosi0]

Hello FIFA comunnity, this is my first post(well my second) and I would like to great all the fifa fans over the world!

Well I have the following problem... There are two patches who i like very much, but I cant run the both at the same time. So i have one of them installed on my current FIFA08. My question is is there any way I could do another copy of my FIFA08 so I can run the second patch, without doing anything with the first? Thank you!

PS. I thought of installing a clean version of FIFA08 and adding the second patch. Then the both FIFA's use same FIFA08 folder in My Documents. Is it possible to play both of them if I use different names for my saves, my managers, my profiles and so on? Thank you!

Yes you can copy your FIFA 08 folder. Read ahead. Also note you only need to maintain one FIFA 08 folder in My Documents.

No need to install FIFA 08 twice.

Make a copy of the FIFA 08 file in "Program Files" and paste it somewhere...for example, My Documents.
After copying, add something after "FIFA 08" so you know which folder is which. For example, you might want to rename it to "FIFA 08 Chelsea" if you are doing a career with Chelsea.
Cut and paste this folder back into program files.

Now you should have 2 folders in the program files where you installed fifa.

For the game that you want to play, the folder must always be named "FIFA 08". The shortcut always searches for this folder.

This means you must rename the original folder to something else if you want to play the game which has your career mode (for example, Chelsea).

I hope this is not complicating. I just typed this since this is what I do and doesn't seem complicated to me anymore.

Note you can have multiple FIFA 08 game files stored in Program files...just add a name to each one so you know which is which. And make sure the game you are playing has it's folder named FIFA 08 or else it won't start-up.
