Is it possible to install BG2:SoA and BG2:ToB on the same machine, different folders?

The reason that I ask is that I really want to play through ToB single player again. But the multiplayer group I'm with is only playing BG2:SoA. Needless to say, I don't want to have to back everything up, uninstall ToB, reinstall SoA, play multiplayer, then reinstall ToB every week! We only play multiplay one day a week, but I've pledged to stick with them through it. Both of them are reluctant to upgrade to ToB.

So is there a way? If not, is there a way that I can back up certain files and folders (like BG2main.exe, dialog.tlk, and the Override folder) for each game and just switch them in and out of the main BGII-SoA folder? Or does the registry change so that no matter what I do, the multiplayer server won't recognize me?

If anyone knows the answer or a workaround solution, please let me know!

Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]
