FS9 on more than one drive

I'm sure I've already read something here around, but I can't find the post.
How can I install another copy of FS9 on another drive?
Inserting Disc #1 I can only choose if "unistall" or "run" the existing copy.
Can someone point me in the right direction or to the right post?

Thanks in advance, Giorgio

It's very easy - just rename your current FS9 folder to anything......(I just add a # to the folder name) then go through the normal installation, placing the new installation where you want.

Your registry will still only pick up the original FS9 installation - believe it or not, to get other programs that depend on your FS9 registry entry (like ScanAFD) you can AFCAD 2.21; when you rename your original installation, then run AFCAD, it will ask you to look for your FS9 installation - you can then point it to any FS9 folder in order to run other programs.....I've never had a problem using this system over the last 8 years and I now have four copies of FS9 floating around on three different hard drives. Hope that helps. :D
