I'm kinda guessing this is the same project with the same computers
you have been talking about (or asking about) in the recent past.
If so, you can not install the same program onto two different drives
and get the program's Registry entries properly into the TWO different
WINDOWS installations that live on the two drives (or partitions) AND
do it at one and the same time. (Not to mention any DLL's and other
files NOT in the program's working directory<s>)
You need to Boot into the two different installs of Windows, one at a time,
AND do what might be called "synchronized" installs in each copy or version
of Windows at separate times. (You might try "shared" installs, but the drive
letter changes would be a lot to overcome, if you are doing what you asked
a week or so ago...)
As far as the double download, why not just copy the original download over
to the second drive while they are both hooked up?
From these questions, especially the last one, I think it is a bad idea for
you to try this, as it is very hard to keep two separate drives synchronized
without lots of very detailed tender loving care, and lots of experience.
But, the way to get experience is to try it until you get it right... (grin...)
