King's Bounty: 'Crossworlds'

Unlike any other game+expansion on Steam, CW installs and overwrites game files for AP. This means, you can't play AP if you have CW and vice-versa. I realize you think that CW is supposed to be played instead of AP, but for a growing number of reasons, including mod compatibility, a complete failure for Verify GCF (a steam client function) to work correctly if you do it to the AP game link instead of the CW game link and...perhaps most painful for new users with completely clean installs - a loss of the larger, more detailed, and more basic game manual.

Why are you setting Crossworlds to overwrite the ..\kings bounty armored princess\ folder contents in Steam?
If you have separate appIDs in Steam, these problems go away entirely, as long as there is a separate install folder, for example:

..\Steam\steamapps\common\kings bounty crossworlds\

Instead, folks are getting a messed up install - and some do not even realize they're playing Crossworlds with bits of old game data from Armored Princess (or vice versa).
