Due to the fact that in the Forgotten Battles rooms there are hosts running both 4.04 and 4.05, I have installed both.
I can log on no propblem with my 4.04, but I haven't been able to figure out how to set up so that I can join using my 4.05.
4.04 is in the default install location and 4.05 is a full install in another location.
My question is:
Do I need to set up a new acct. with a new name for 4.05? Setting up a path to the new exe location. And if so (forgive my noobness), how would I do it?
Or is there another option I'm not aware of for running two versions of the same game?
Thanks for any help,

You just need to tell HL which version you wish to play before connecting.
Read how to do this in section 7 of the manual.

Thanks for the quick reply, Gunny.
I was actually aware of that method but was hoping for a solution that wasn't as labor intensive to go through every time I switch servers. Which I might do eight or ten times in an evening.
To have to log out, log back in, run the search, enter the path and start 'er up seems like a lot of effort just to see what map is up on a server. And then have to do it all again to return to the server you were on. I guess I was looking for more of a one click solution. But I guess I will have to content myself with this method for now.
Thanks again,
