How to install two versions of archicad 27 on one windows computer

Hi, because the market is bad, I have to work for two companies and each of them use different versions of archicad 27 teamwork (one is version 4030 and the other is 6060). In order to join both teamwork projects, I need both versions of the archicad installed on my computer. But when I open the installer, it keeps saying I have archicad already installed, is there a way to fix this?

 

Operating system used: Windows 6060

One way would be to install diferrent language version (eg. if you have US, you can install INT - don't apply to Archicad Studio subscription).

Probably another way would be to create a new user on the computer and install Archicad only for selected user?

You just need to install it to a different folder rather than the default one.

You will need to set up shortcuts to run each version so you can choose the one you want.

I think you will find even different language versions will install to the same "Archicad" program folder.

You just need to use a different installation path.

Hi Barry, thank you so much for your quick reply. I cannot choose another folder because when I open the installer, this window shows, which leaves me no option

Just rename the Archicad 27 folder to Archicad 27 6060 for example
