Sage 50 Accounts 2nd Installation

Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help.
I am running Sage 50 Accounts V15 on windows xp.
It is set up on my first pc and is running fine.
I have a 2-user licence and now wish to set it up on a second pc(also xp)
I have shared the accounts folder (holding the accdata etc) on the first pc and mapped this on the second (now visible as E: drive within "My Computer")
My only problem now is pointing my programs on pc2 to the data on PC1.
Should this be done during setup cos I've looked at every option on the welcome screens
and cant seem to fathom out what to do.
Can this be done and could anyone give me a simplified way to do it
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Howard

Install the program on the second PC using the default locations and when you start the program select the option to use data from another installation, browse to E:\accdata

Ok, no probs. What options does the welcome screen give you?
