Can I install and run TWO versions of iTunes in Win7?

Please, definitive answers only (as far as possible), and read the question properly before replying - it save creating a useless and confusing thread!!!
My problem: New iTunes is awful, I like using 'CoverFlow) for navigation. Omitting it from the newer version is a mistake.
How to resolve?: Can I, in a newly created (seperate Win7 folder from 'Program Files'), install an ADDITIONAL (and older) version, so that I don't have to uninstall the existing newer one?
My music resource is on an external hard-drive, so, theoretically, is available to more than one installation of iTunes variants?
I am NOT going to uninstall the new one I already have, as this is a 'normal' install which I shall upgrade accordingly.
Can I install another, to work temporarily until iTunes put back into their relseases 'CoverFlow', by simply installing it in a different location/folder, and then pointing both to the music resource.
Anyone tried this already, maybe even for the same reason as me, and got a definitive outcome if it works or not, without causing any conflicts?

Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with dual-booting systems. I often do this at work. But, again, not really answering my question:
Can I install 2 (different) versions of iTunes, on Win7 (just the one OS, or I would have said otherwise), if I install them into different folders.
I ask as I've never tried it, and don't particularly know all about iTunes.
To be honest, I'll just give up with this as a forum, as this is the 2nd time I've made a plain question as straight foward as a possibly can, to get an answer to a different one.
I give up, if people just can't read properly, then answer the question , preferring instead to give me an opinion.
With deep appreciation of you using that forum, I will bow down deeply concerned with my incompliance with your preferences. I am very sorry that instead of answering said question I provided you with solution. I solemnly swear that I will never do it again. I thank you for giving me a credit nevertheless for helpful answer.

  • Can I install and run, and howto, FF4 beta alongside the existing FF3.6.13?

    Can I install and run the Beta version [...safely ] alongside my existing, working, FF3.6?
    If so, how?
    FireFox is my main browser appliaction on a Windows XP machine and I will need it working...

    If you want to test the beta, probably the easiest method is to install the portable test version on your hard drive. For details see method A as shown by the-edmeister here - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1062975
    The portable test version is currently set to Firefox 4 beta 7.

  • Issues installing and running two pieces of software

    I have tried to install and run two pieces of software so far without luck. Skype and Gimp, both appear to need X11 running which I believe I have done. When either of the dmg files are run either nothing happens or just the X11 command window pops up.
    I'm running a MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.4 13.5 inch
    So what do I need to do to be able to run software on a Mac?

    Can you explain why every time I try to install Skype it launches X11 and then does nothing else?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

    For what it's worth I have Photoshop CS2 running fine on Vista x64, but I've not moved it over to my Windows 7 x64 machine.  Generally speaking, things that work fine on Vista x64 work fine on Windows 7 x64.
    That said, you might want to wait until you hear from someone who's actually tried the exact combination themselves.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't install due to later version of iTunes already installed

My situation is exactly as described below; new computer, attempted to install airport express from install disc; get fatal error b/c I'm running later (7.2) version of itunes. Tried installing from English folder, which appeared to work, but no Airport Express Assistant shows up for configuration purposes. Any suggestions?

    You can use XP with 10.7.x by installing XP when the Mac is operating from OS X 10.6.8. It can then be up graded to 10.7.x. Below I have reproduced the "Hatter " method instructions that I have used successfully. If your MBP cannot boot from and install 10.6.8 then it is a no go situation.
    Upgrade 10.6.8 to 10.7 or 10.8
    Use a maintenance utility like Yasu or Cocktail to prepare existing internal Mac OSX  HDD.
    Clone the internal Mac partition to an external HDD with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Restart from the cloned external HDD and select it as the startup volume via System Preferences / Startup Disk.
    Install 10.7 or 10.8 on the cloned external HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x.
    Install 10.7.x or 10.8.x updates on the external HDD
    Restart the updated 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD and test and adjust the preferences if needed.
    When satisfied, clone only  the 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD back to the existing internal Mac HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x  but don't include the recovery partition.
    The Boot Camp partition will not be altered as to drive id which appeared to cause problems for a few people.
    The recovery partition will be on the ext HDD and can be used for trouble shooting. A more convenient way to have the recovery/reinstallation environment is to create a Lion install USB thumb drive.

  • Can 6i install and run in Pentium4

    Hi all,
    I want to buy new P4 PC for development in Dev 6i rel 2. Can I use Dev 6i with P4?
    Thanks in advance for your info.

    You can run Forms 6i on pentium 4 PCs. There was some issue with Pentium 4 to do with Sun's JDK, which was fixed in JInitiator 1.1.8.10 (although it's recommended to use 1.1.8.13 as a minimum).
    So download the latest JInitiator.
    Ultimately you Forms will install on Pentium 4, but you may need a higher patchset than 4, I don't know off the top of my head.

  • Can I install and run Tiger on a slave hard drive?

    I apologize if this has been covered somewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find it.
    I want to be able to boot to another internal drive that I have in case of emergencies, etc. with my main Tiger OS hard drive (an external firewire drive).
    Anyway, I already have an OS 9 hard drive in there and it's set to master (with slave present) with the pins on the drive. But, there is another drive (set to slave) that would be perfect for my extra Tiger OS install.
    Will I be able to boot from this "slave" hard drive after I install Tiger on it?
    Thanks for your time.
