Install order for GB, Antietam and CV on new computer?

[kaschykb]

I will be moving onto a new computer in the future and I'm wondering what the preferred order of install is for SOWGB and the expansions. I read in another thread that if you install CV by itself you get a scenario launch map screen like with GB. If I install GB after CV do I keep the CV launch map? Are there any downsides to installing in this order? Thanks.

If you install CV first, you will get the standalone version which has new intro music, screens, and the scenario selection map. If you install GB later, it will install into its own folder so you will have both stand-alone versions of CV and GB.

If you choose to install GB first and CV second, CV will install as a map pack (just as Antietam and Pipe Creek do) without out the music, screens, and selection map. However, the big advantage of the map pack is that you can use mods with the scenarios.

Ok, so if you mods won't work for CV if it is installed first. I guess this is a big negative for me. Thanks.

The mods will work if installed into the GB mods folder but are a lot more likely not to work if installed into the CV mods folder. The reason is that essentially all of the mods have been constructed within GB and assume that environment.
