Tom,
What I normally do is this....
Install the base game and apply all patches (4.09m vanilla).
Rename this to IL-2 1946 Baseline.
Next make two new directories (In my case IL-2 1946 HSFX and IL-2 1946 UP)
COPY all the files from the baseline directory into the HSFX and UP directories.
Next apply the appropriate mods to the 2 new directories.
Finally, navigate to the HSFX and UP directories (1 at a time) and create a shortcut on your desktop to the new IL-2 FB.exe's in each.
This will give you 3 installs of the game, each with it's own shortcut and each running independently of the others.
Windows will still have reference to the old one in the registry, but it won't matter. Just ensure that you point mod pack installs to the appropriate version on your system that you are installing them for.
S!
