1. Let's say your normal install directory is:
C:\Everquest
Simply make a copy of that entire folder and paste it where you want your new directory to be. I just threw it back on my main drive and renamed the copy something like:
C:\EverquestBeta
2. You can then copy your desktop short cut, but you have to go into properties and adjust the file path to what ever you named your new beta install:
Target: C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe patchme
Start In: C:\EverQuest
becomes
Target: C:\EverQuestBeta\eqgame.exe patchme
Start In: C:\EverQuestBeta
3. Install the beta patch into your new BETA directory. This will allow two separate installs without having to redo other patches each time you want to switch back to blue/red or beta.
