Second installation of halo?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games (More info?)

I can't think of any legitimate reason not to update Halo.

And I said they have no internet access. No internet access = No Updates =
The problem I have. They can't afford it. And there are no free ISPs in our
area. Trust me, I looked.

Hi Brightstar,

You could theoretically have 2 partitions with Halo installed.
Install Halo to the first partition, rename that partition to another
letter, and then copy your installation to a 2nd partition which
you will assign the same drive letter. You can then switch back
and forth between the updated version and the regular one.

It would probably be easier to host the LAN party at your place
one day though, so your friend can use your internet connection.
