I have MOHAA installed on my C drive but want to install another copy on another hard drive as well.
When I run the install routine I get the options to Modify, Repair or Delete the existing installation only but not to do another install. Is it possible to have two versions of the game on one computer?

Daz,
I expect that along with most other software installs, it uses the Windows Installer service to install. Short of messing about in the registry and changing the unique GUID of the MOHAA software (in multiple registry locations) I don't think you'll be able to fool it.
Even if you managed this then the second software install would still want to install to the same registry settings on your C drive as the first copy, even though the program's installed files are on another drive.
Short of two Windows installs (or multi-boot system) I think you're onto a loser here. Messing about like I've described will likely sh4g your system irretrievably!
But I have to agree with previous comment.... why

could you not just have two seperate user accounts with full access, then choose not to share this program with other account login as other account and install this time to different drive.
