Windows is intelligent. This is the source of all windows problems. In this case the problem is that the registry stores info of all programs installed (There are a few exceptions, mostly smaller programs or multiple platform applications that cant depend on having the registry avaialble), so BG2 will know its installed, whether or not its been moved.
What you could try is copy it, uninstall it, reinstall it and then switch the copies into place depending on what you want to play, this would work if SoA dosent notice the ToB changes to the registry. Tough one.
The good news is there is a portion of the registry specific to each user (the user.dat hive if were getting technical), the problem is making XP store info in that hive. Im sure I saw an option to do it.
