Couldn't you just copy the data folder into a stock 1.44 mod?

No. The v1.5x .exe will look for certain fields in the data files, particularly for settings and strategies, and will cough up errors that will not allow you to continue.

You just need to copy your install into another folder. Give it a name like "SE:V v1.44".
Prior to applying the patch, run the copy of SE5 that you want to patch. This will update the registry path to that version and the patch will apply itself to that copy.
