Running Two FML Clients on Windows XP

1. Make sure that show hidden folders is enabled. Follow these steps:

Select Start Menu - Click Control Panel - Select "Classic View" - Click "Folder Options" - Select "View" tab - Select "Show hidden files, folders, or drives"

2. Find the Football Manager Live folder in Application Data.

Go inside these folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager Live 

*Your actual username will replace "Tom".


3. Make a copy of fml_live_v1.


You should see the folder "fml_live_v1" - copy it to the same folder "Football Manager Live" and rename the copy "fml_live_v2" or whatever you would like to name it.

Make sure FML is closed or it won't let you copy the files 

4. Go into each of these two folders separately and locate "fml.exe".

Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager Live\fml_live_v1\add_ons\client\app_6205

IMPORTANT: Make sure you find "fml.exe" and not "fml_launcher.exe" and that you choose "app_6205" folder 

5. Create Shortcut


For each "fml.exe", right click on them and select "Create Desktop Shortcut". 
Should be all done and easily accessed by clicking the shortcut.

  1. Would like to see one for Vista. Wanna be on Frans and Belanov at the same time, pissing and moaning about yet another chokejob loss by the Bloody Sporks :(

  2. Try the Windows 7 one :)

    I'm told it's very similar.
