Most Wanted 2005 and 2012 on 1 PC

Hi,

   few weeks back I downloaded and installed Most Wanted (2012) on my PC and now I tried to install the original Most Wanted from 2005 but it won't let me. There is no setup.exe on my DVD, only autorun.exe which gives me only option to play, but as the game isn't intalled, it just crashes. So my question is: is it possible to install the 2005 version AFTER 2012 version (and how), or do I have to uninstall the 2012 version, install the 2005 version and then download and install the 2012 version again (the game is quite big so I would like to avoid downloading it again). + Is there any way to link the original Most Wanted game from 2005 to my EA account?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it was caused by installed NFS Underground - both games have .exe files named SPEED, so I just needed to edit registry to make it work.

    Thanks for sharing your findings on this.

    For those who are experiencing the same issues, note that editing your computer's registry or files incorrectly can severely damage your operating system. We recommend having a computer professional perform these steps.
