This assumes that you have already installed the Campaign Leipzig mod.

Find the folder where you have Campaign Leipzig installed. Your Campaign Leipzig folder will be inside your HPS Simulations folder.  If you are using Windows XP this will probably be inside your John Tiller Software folder (e.g. C:\John Tiller Software).  If you are running on something more recent than Windows XP, your John Tiller Software folder may be somewhere else and you'll simply have to find it.  I'm not an IT guru so I can't cover every eventuality.

Once you've found your modded Campaign Leipzig folder, right click on it and select 'copy' from the drop down menu.  Move your mouse cursor to an empty space, right-click again, and select 'paste' from the drop-down menu.  You'll end up with a folder named 'Copy of Campaign Leipzig'. Rename it 'Campaign Dresden'.  

Copy the Campaign Dresden mod folder and paste it into your John Tiller Software folder.  It will overwrite part of the contents of the Campaign Dresden folder that you just made in your John Tiller Software folder.  Go inside the Campaign Dresden folder and find the application file.  It looks like a French flag when you have thumbnails turned on and has the uninformative name 'cpl'. Right-click on it, create a shortcut, and move the shortcut to your desktop.  The reason you just did that is so you'll have a shortcut that will launch Campaign Dresden as opposed to Campaign Leipzig.  Rename the new shortcut icon on your desktop to something like 'Campaign Dresden', and change the icon by going right-clicking on it, going into Properties, and navigating through the drop down menu to the Desktop Icon inside of 'Campaign Dresden '.


A NOTE ON UPDATING 'Campaign Dresden '

In order to save space, the only files inside the Campaign Dresden  mod are ones that it DOES NOT have in common with Campaign Leipzig.  You can repeat the basic installation procedure outlined above for updates, but a better way, if you already have Campaign Dresden installed, is to simply apply the contents of the  Campaign Leipzig folder to the Campaign Dresden folder (which is inside your John Tiller Software folder), and then, when Campaign Dresdenlooks exactly like Campaign Leipzig, apply the Campaign Dresden update to your Campaign Dresden folder.  

If any of this isn't clear, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll try to walk you through it.
