Instructions to load independent versions on a single PC are summarized here:

Go to the Properties of the shortcut.
At the end of the Target you can add the new directory path using the command line argument
–datapath:<"directory path">
To create a new directory for the ANAN-200D radio I use the name PowerSDR ANAN_10 like this:
start --datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR ANAN_10\"
My new Target will look like this:
"C:\Program Files [x86]\OpenHPSDR\PowerSDR RX2 [W5WC]\PowerSDR.exe"
--datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR mRX\"
When you start PowerSDR using the modified shortcut you will receive
this message the first time.
Ensure the directory path is correct. The click on Yes.
You will then get the normal startup with a new wisdom file and database
folder.
Each installation of PowerSDR makes entries in BOTH the %appdata% and Program Files (x86) folders.
If you install a new version, it will override the XML DataBase that contains the detailed description of all
your settings and preferences.
at this time, there is no utility to retain your preferences and apply them to the next revision database
