I've recently installed the Great Empires II collection, and then Emperor on Win7, to find the old bug that installing Emperor uninstalls Pharaoh, and vice versa, as I commented on in 2006.
Please note you will have to make sure you can see the hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer for doing the trick.
