CMFI vs CMFI-GL ?

[Toblakai]

I didn’t test it, but I think you can have two installations of CMFI with different versions.

That is correct!

However there is an issue that you and your opponent need to be aware of. BFC switched CMFI (on windows) to use a directory in My Documents for the game files. The problem is that there is no way to tell two installs to use two different folders in My Documents. They made this change to accommodate M$ and their grand plans of keeping user files out of the Program Files directory but they did not quite do it right. I filed a defect report but I don't even know if they agree with me that it needs fixing. Sigh.

What that means is that because the installs of CMFI and CMFI-GL both share the same game files directories there can be confusing about which game files should be opened with which version. This is not a problem when you fire up the older version because it will not show you the newer files. However when you fire up the newer version it *will* show you the older game's files. So, if you are not careful you can accidentally upgrade a PBEM game. Grrrr.

Yes, you are right, the CMFI game files are in the "home folder" (I forgot it). I think they did it because of Windows 8 and it is okay to separate user files from program files, but how you wrote BF didn’t manage it very well (e.g. no question box for multiple user installation).

Just an idea: it should be easier to manage it with h2hh. For every single battle you can choose a separate application link.
