Vista - 2 installs
Can someone please point me in the right direction here. I know it's been answered, but I can't seem to find it on the board or wiki.
In Vista; How can I install a 2nd copy of wow?
I already have 1 copy installed. When I try to install a 2nd copy, I only get the options for uninstall and play.
Can I simply rename the 1st folder or app?

Yeah just copy your wow folder and you got your 2nd wow
""Sir! We are surrounded!" - "Excellent! We can attack in any direction!""

Take a look at this page:
PowerShell script to create symbolically linked (mklink) copies of WoW
having 2 wow directories just increases hard drive activity, which can cause a lot of system lag in large cities. symlinking helps alleviate this a bunch.

Nice. I'll have to try this.
I was hoping to just optimize performance a little. I have a quad processor machine and wanted to designate 2 to one wow and 2 to the other wow.

trust me, if you symlink and have a separate directory for each, you'll notice a huge increase in performance in cities-- i certainly did.Originally Posted by 'fpanko',index.php?page=Thread&postID=144609#post1 44609
