Hello
I would like, for personal reasons, to install the same software twice on my PC, on two different partitions of the same hard drive.
Does Windows allow this, provided I choose the custom installation of course, and above all, do I have a chance that it will work without the risk of interference, knowing that only one would work at a time?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

If I understood correctly, you have a 2005 version of the program in question and another 2006 version of the same program?
If that's the case, I believe you can install the second one by simply changing the default directory (C:\Program Files\Your Prog) to another directory... It should work, at least I did it with Office97 and 2000, Delphi 3 and 5 AND 7 and had no problems.

After trying, the second installation goes well and is done where I ask (namely: D:\ instead of C:\prog..files..). But indeed the program's execution is less impressive: I can launch it, provided that the other one is inactive. So it works, let’s say partially, with this software.

Hello,
In my opinion, there is a risk that it won't work, it depends on the software.
If it's to have each one's "profile," it's better to trust Windows profiles - but again, it doesn't work with all software, which software is it?
