Yesterday, I thought I was all set and had this patch thingie beat, only to realize I'd only installed the WoW core and still had TBC x-pack to install.

Problem is, the installation CDs don't let me install a 2nd copy of TBC, they automatically open a "Play The Burning Crusade" window...

I managed to install a 2nd basic WoW by renaming the main retail-version folder so that the installer couldn't detect WoW had already been installed. However, TBC detects it's already been installed (patched to 2.3, btw).

I have absolutely no idea how to trick TBC into a 2nd installation.

To tell the truth, I'm starting to get quite worried I'll get my characters deleted after reading KingPin's statement that the server will never upgrade to 2.3.

Any and all suggestions welcome.
