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

Find the folder where you have Campaign Bautzen installed.   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 Bautzen 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 Bautzen'. Rename it 'Russo-Swedish War'.  

Copy the Russo-Swedish War mod folder and paste it into your John Tiller Software folder.  It will overwrite part of the contents of the Russo-Swedish War folder that you just made in your John Tiller Software folder.  Go inside the Russo-Swedish War folder and find the application file.  It looks like a French flag when you have thumbnails turned on and has the uninformative name 'cpbz'. 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 Russo-Swedish War as opposed to Campaign Bautzen.  Rename the new shortcut icon on your desktop to something like 'Russo-Swedish War', and change the icon by  right-clicking on it, going into Properties, and navigating through the drop down menu to the Desktop Icon inside of 'Russo-Swedish War'.


A NOTE ON UPDATING 'Russo-Swedish War'

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

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