Sorry if my title was deceiving, this is not a guide. i am unsure of how else to get the precision of the title in a short line.

TO THE POINT:

+ Show Spoiler +
i have bought a 2nd copy of starcraft 2, however this one is the european realm version. I simply bought it for the sake of participating on the EU playhem tournaments because they fit my schedule better but i have friends on my NA realm still so now i see it as an opportunity to play on two realms including tournaments on two realms.


My Goal:


+ Show Spoiler +
I want to be able to access two different starcraft realms from the same computer as easily as i see the pros do it. I am familiar with registry editing to certain extents.


My problem:


+ Show Spoiler +
i cannot install the starcraft 2 eu version without completely altering what seems to be several folders and registry files regarding my current NA version of starcraft 2.
TO BE SPECIFIC:

+ Show Spoiler +
A folder named "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II" already exists. The existing contents of this folder will be erased.
A folder named "C:\Users\David\Documents\StarCraft II" already exists.
A folder named "C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II" already exists. The existing contents of this folder will be erased.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\StarCraft II.lnk" will be overwritten.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\StarCraft II - Map Editor.lnk" will be overwritten.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\StarCraft II - Repair.lnk" will be overwritten.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\StarCraft II - Manual.lnk" will be overwritten.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\Blizzard Technical Support.lnk" will be overwritten.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\Battle.net Account Management.lnk" will be overwritten.
The file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II\StarCraft II - Uninstall.lnk" will be overwritten.


I am somewhat unaware of the damages these may do if overwritten, but some threads have suggested that i could overwrite them and separate the folders to starcraft II us and starcraft II EU. But, if i do that, what happens with the registry files? Do i need to edit them aswell before overwriting? My guess would be that they are the files i should be concerned about as far as stopping me from playing on the NA servers. other posts have also suggested that it will not allow me to play on my NA server anymore if i do this (which is not what i am aiming for). I know there is a possibility out there to have both on the same computer as i see many pro/featured TL streams consistently capable of switching between EU/NA/KR/SEA/etc... servers with the simple click of a starcraft within a separate folder.

Now i dont believe 'renaming' the folders alone will work as i've tried it and still get the same messages, but if there are any successful videos that can prove that it is just that easy, i will gladly do so.


Computer Specs (if needed) :


+ Show Spoiler +
Windows 7 home premium
AMD X1090T x6 @ 3.5 GHz
HD radeon 6950 1gb ddr5
12 gb kingston ram
850W PSU
1 TB seagate HDD


If i missed anything significant, please let me know.

All you have to do is change the install path or change the name of the folder. You are over complicating this by a lot.

if it were this easy... why am i getting all of these errors that i've listed? i've already said that i tried that and still was piled with the same messages regarding all of my registry files being 'erased'. I did try changing the install path, that doesnt change where the registry files are installed though.... and changing the name of the folder doesnt change the name of the registry files. so please elaborate if i've missed something?

Uh it is that easy...

Starcraft II doesn't do anything to the registry. And those aren't even registry files so I'm not sure why you bring this up.

Those files being overwritten are just useless shortcuts and cache.

What you have to do is actualy go and find all the files that the game tells you "already exist" and rename them, add something like (US) to them. If you do this correctly the second client will get installed no problem. the new client might create a new folder that is also used by your old client, if you dont want that to happen you can change the name of the old folder back AFTER you have installed the new client. this worked for me, hope it helped.
