I know it is possible to install a 32-bit version and a 64 bit verion on the same drive.

I know it is possible to install a 64 bit version and a 64 bit beta version on the same drive.

Is it possible to install two beta versions besindes one non-beta version? Say, install 4.7, install 4.8 beta, install 4.9 beta.

Don't tell me I won't need earlier versions, some of the cameras and effects don't work in the newer versions.

    Yes, it is possible.

    I have 3 versions on my notebook; 4.6 RC, 4.8 RC, & 4.9 RC. And 3 versions on my desktop; 4.8 RC, 4.9 RC and 4.9.0.61 Beta. They all run fine together ( except for the bugs each one has on their own).

    If you want to try it, Here is a link that shows how to install dual  versions of DS on the same PC.

    Note that this is not officially supported - if bad things happen it will be up to you to sort them out.

    Thanks for the link, RainbowArtist!

    And, Richard, I fear I will be on my own anyway, as I intend to stay with 4.8 mainly. But here are some things I bought wich need 4.5 or earlier versions to work, and if I install 4.5 (that file still exists!), I need all other versions as beta, or 4.5 would cease to exist.
