Oh wow! I must have 3 or 4 versions installed on this 6 year old machine! I'm sure I've read that it's fine to have more than one version installed, as long as they aren't in the same directory. I'm not sure where I've read that, but it might be in the FAQ. I've also heard it from knowledgeable users (although I wouldn't be able to remember exactly who it was). Not to mention, I've passed it along more than a few times, when helping other users.
Is there something about 0.92 which changes that? I thought developers must have 5 or 6 versions installed....??
I typically don't change my preferences across versions, so that probably wouldn't cause a conflict.. But I'm quite sure I've both read, and heard from very knowledgeable users, that it's ok to have more than 1 version installed.
Of course I rarely have 2 versions running at the same time. It's usually only around a new release when I'm helping to track down bugs or unexpected new behavior.
This is rather shocking info. Is it really a big risk?
Thanks again!

Hi, I would not attempt to do 2 full-blown installations of Inkscape on the same machine. You will almost certainly run into conflicts, either in the registry, or in the preferences file at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\inkscape. I would use a .7z version for the second (or third) version of Inkscape, which you can locate anywhere you like, preferably not underneath Program Files [x86].
