Default Can I install a different Limey for each user account in Win XP?

I tried doing this by installing to the C:\Documents and Settings\user1\limewire path, then trying to install to the other user account: C:\Documents and Settings\user2, but when I did it Limey "removed previous version of Limewire" pfffttt.

If I remember right I d/loaded LW to C:\Program Files, and installed to my account from there. Then logged off my account and logged onto the other account and installed from the same location. It created seperate shared folders for both accounts with no problems.

If you run LW on both accounts at the same time they'll have to use different ports, so you may need to allow exceptions through your firewall for both accounts......braaappp

were both accounts in user groups?
I tried installing the first time in the Admin's folders, then logged off and logged into the limited user account, and installed it in their folder, but it still recognized the admin limewire and removed it aaaaghh

thx for the feedback
cheers

all my accounts have admin privileges. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
