Having previously been involved in the Alpha, I chose not to uninstall the prior version. I am able to run both versions separately. I won't go through everything I did to get this to work(not very much) without some kind of approval from the Devs.

I will say, though, obviously there are limitations and some things aren't likely to work. Especially when the Beta goes live tomorrow.

I did this primarily to compare the changes to the maps and UI. As I wandered the new Andromeda map I noticed a few differences immediately. I wanted to post pictorial differences, but I know I am still under the Alpha's NDA.

So I guess I will end this post with a question to the Devs:
Can I describe how I got the two versions to run separately?

P.S. I won't be around for the next few hours, but will be back tonight.

Due to the very large chance these instruction steps could cause someone to screw up registry's, no.
We've told users to uninstall the Alpha. We'd much prefer that than someone blowing up their entire system accidentally.

Also - remember that the Alpha build will always be under NDA, we'll never be lifting that.

That's why I chose to ask instead of chancing getting banned. Thanks for the quick reply.
