Why is it suggested to uninstall both WOFFUE & WOFFPE before installing WOFFBHH? What does they statement 'they share resources' mean? I have both WOFFUE & WOFFPE installed and I keep the unused version in a Hold folder in the main OBDSoftware folder. I want to put both of these current installs in Hold folders and install WOFFBHH in the OBDSoftware folder. Why can I not do this and be able to switch between versions by rotating the WOFF folder I want to use into the OBDSoftware folder while the other two stay in there respective hold folders? Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

One problem is having other backups inside folders in the main sim folder could cause problems as at runtime it will scan through folders looking for certain files and if it finds more than one it will randomly load one of them!
So that is not supported - also one resource in question is they will use the same registry location for a start so bad idea to mix them.

Thank you for answering so quickly Pol. I can move my WOFFUE & PE hold folders outside of the Main OBDSoftware folder easy enough to stop any problems there. Out of my ignorance of registry keys I need to ask this. Are the Registry Keys different IN ANY WAY for WOFFUE, WOFFPE and WOFFBHHII? If so, Could I simply make a different folder structure while installing WOFFBHHII to force the Reg Keys to be located in different locations within the Registry, thus not having one install trying to overwrite the Reg Keys of another previous install? Say I create the folder structure of E:/Old_Brown_Dog/OBDSoftware/.... during installation of WOFFBHHII??? I am not trying to be a PITA, but I want to keep my old installs if at all possible. I am not doing it for comparison, but to still be able to use the old installs with mods until the community possibly reintroduces the old mods into WOFFBHHII. Thanks in advance again.

I can't remember between UE and PE, but BH&H II has different options now and running a different version could set something incorrectly whatever and break something - we have not tested multiple versions or how to fudge it, so I can't really help more.
