definitely!
i only use the media when i absolutely-positively need it.
here is a tried-and-true-methodology:
  1. perform the install to a folder other than C:/Program Files(x86). Most put it in C:\Ubisoft\something of your choosing.
  2. use Winzip or 7-zip or whatever compression app you have a license to and make a zipped copy of what you just installed. this is your master copy that you will keep safe-and-sound.
  3. then you can create additional folders under the Ubisoft folder for all of the additional SH4 scenarios that you will want to run: Stock, GFO, TMO_BH, FOTRSU, etc. you will create a new folder and then unzip SH4 from your master copy into the new folder. then...
  4. Use Multish4 to create the Save Folder environment for your new installation.
  5. then, go sink some ships with either Stock or whatever mega-mod you choose...without the need to keep using your cd/dvd media.

does this sound do-able?
