Two Games on One Computer?

[Jazz]

Can you have two copies of the game, with their own resource/etc files on the same computer? (I thought this would be helpful for hexing, so was trying to set that up). I used the google drive copy in the "install on windows 10 without a disc" link within the stickied resources and when I tried to run it, I got the "debug/abort" error. My game is in a folder called "BBZ" in my documents. The 2nd one (that wouldn't work) was in my documents also, labeled "BBZ Hexing File." I also tried running the hexing one from my desktop.

Is there something on a computer that would prevent two copies of the game from existing?

If it's going to be difficult I'll just hex within my game, but I figured I'd check/ask

Thanks! ^_^

I can’t imagine having two copies would cause issues so I’d thinknyour be fine! I have had two copies of other games on my computer before and it was fine. and this was a while ago for games from the early 2000s

hmmm, okay! I'll have to try and figure out what the issue is with the 2nd copy not working then, I guess. :3

Considering my game freaks over simple things I think trying to install two copies would send them to the brink of self destruction lol!

Might it be a registry issue? The computer only recognizes one game because it can only accept one copy of the registry key?

Jazz did you get this worked out, lovely?

I can confirm that, at least with Petz4, it is possible to have two copies of the game, and have them fully functional. I keep two copies of Petz4 so that I can have dogz in one, and catz in the other (the adoption center breed list and adopted petz list gets WAY too long otherwise, haha)

Perhaps it's the way you're installing the second game? I installed both of mine using the disc itself.
