Installing TC4 without impacting my original MVP05

I saw a thread a long while back from a fellow who gave the steps for installing a TC set as a separate install on the PC so that he was able to play both the TC version and continue his MVP05 regular version. Does anyone remember it, or can anyone point me to that thread?

Thanks in advance

well where was it, i was wondering the same thing

Here are the steps:

1. Make a copy of your entire MVP Baseball 2005 folder (and all subdirectories).

2. Rename the copied MVP Baseball 2005 folder to something else (for example "Total Classics 2005"). You now have two separate copies of MVP installed.

3. When you install Total Classics and are asked where to install the files, select your "Total Classics 2005" folder. Make sure that when you select the folder that you double click on it so that the subfolder icons appear (i.e. you actually open up the Total Classics 2005 folder). If you don't do this, the install will fail (trust me, this happened to me).

4. Create a new desktop icon by copying the original MVP Baseball 2005 desktop icon. Rename the new icon to Total Classics 2005 and edit the shortcut to point to Total Classics 2005 folder.

That's all there is to it!

Both versions of MVP ("Regular" and Total Classics) have to share the profiles, .SAV rosters and dynasty files contained with the MVP Baseball 2005 directory within My Documents but that isn't a big deal. Everything else is separate like stadiums, uniforms, teams etc etc .....

Also, remember that if you want to install new stadiums, new uniforms, etc. and you want to install it in both versions of MVP that you need to run the installation twice, once for Regular MVP and once for Total Classics.

Thx for this tip guys....however, when I tried to pick the re-named folder, it gave me a message that it wasn't a legitimate mvp 2005 folder. Not a biggie as I picked my original folder and turned my copy into the "current day" game version. Not sure what else I could've done.
