Alternative registry entries

[Paulofonta]

Would be nice if VU could use another primary registry key, (like "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Emulator Nexus\Venice Unleashed" for example) and only use the registry values of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node\)EA Games\Battlefield 3" if the primary key didn't contain the "Install Dir" value.
That way users (specially modders) could add those registry entries and create a sandbox folder for VU, instead of modifying their Origin game folder.

Venice Unleashed doesn't modify any game files, so I don't see why something like this would be needed.
Server installations can use their own instance directory, which is where custom content will be loaded from.

Server installations

But you once mentioned that client installations can host.
