I have TOAW III - would 4 override it?

Post by Sarsfield »

Hi

I have TOAW III and I am in the middle of a Europe Aflame game

I need to know before downloading TOAW IV whether it will install as
a separate game or will it override version 3?

Thanks to anyone who can help on this.[:)]

I'm certain it would be installed as a separate game, but just to be totally safe, wouldn't it be ok to temporarily rename the TOAW3 folder to something else, before installing TOAW4?

My TOAW4, with default install, is in the folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\The Operational Art of War IV

They install side by side. I never removed III before installing IV. Both work. The only potential headache I could see would be if you had save files/etc associated with the game you'd need to pick which version windows would launch when you double clicked a file.

They are completely separate games, so you should have no trouble, as long as you install them in different folders (and by default, they will).
