I wish to have the actors in my mod lip-sync, but I can't do this with the latest Construction Set. When I try to install the old CS (whose lip file generator works), it asks me if I want to uninstall the selected files. Obviously, it wants to uninstall the new CS so that it can install itself. How can I install it without removing the new CS?

Thanks

There was a recent thread where someone mentioned doing this.

IIRC the method is to rename the folder after the first install so that the second can't remove it. Edit the shortcut to point to the new name. The second install will overwrite the registry entries, so this should be the latest version, so you can play using the mods it produces. This means install old, rename then install new, so the old CS is available thru the modified shortcut, and the new one via vanilla.

I don't remember anything being discussed about how to separate the content location, so you don't make a mod unusable by editing it with the old version. Maybe you can't and it's a question of always re-editing with the new one to mark the esp as good to go.

I did this a few weeks ago.

Install the new CS - make sure it works
Copy the EXE file for the old CS into the same folder with a new name ("LipSyncCS.exe" etc)
Make a shortcut for each one.
Done.

Iv not tried firing them both up at the same time, but they certainly work fine alone.
