Running both Kodi 16 and 17-beta

I am using MrMC on my iphone/TV, which requires me to keep mysql database intact based on the Kodi 16 (library version). I’d also like to test 17-beta and have Android clients that can access this new library version over mysql as well.

Now to my question – is it possible to install both Kodi 16 and Kodi 17-beta on my windows machine. If so, does this allow me to update both libraries and make both available over mysql over the network. Obviously, they wouldn’t be in sync, but want to make sure that it is even possible to have both?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have!
