Installing second copy of warcraft 3

[Jonro]

Hi i would like to install a second copy of WC3 ROC and TFT but when i put in the installation discs it dosent give me an option to install only uninstall the copy i already have on there. Is there a way to install a second copy?

What is your operating system and why would you want a second copy?

My operating system is Windows XP

okay find your warcraft folder. move it some place else lets say my documents or store it in the recylce bin. Then insert disc it will install then install frozen then you should have new copy and if you want old version move this one to another location put the other one back.

Or as it installs rename the dir to like WarcraftIII2 and then when it's done install frozen then patch to desired copy then put the old folder back. if you want to play either version you'll need to open the exe in the folder of the one you want.

I don't see any point in having two copies. You would need two cd-keys and all that. It's not like you can search both at ladder and face yourself, it doesn't work for long.

And you cant ask for cd-keys here.

Wouldn't installation information be stored in the registry as opposed to the folder?

Lol, I've got 390 ROC cdkeys, and a lot of them are either being used or banned.

I thought that too. It works I've done it lots of times when I decieded it would be cool to abuse patches 1.02-1.04

I just wanted another copy so i could watch older replays and i dident say anything about cd keys

Well you said you wanted a second copy and said nothing about why you wanted to, so I thought you wanted to use them online, and you need more than one cd key so both can be on.
