No, install it as a unique program. I use both.

Yes, I finally have a, uh, "consultation" version (2007) in my office to go along with my fully operational version (8) at home. I might find myself "consulting OOTP" more often than ever this way.

You can have both on the same computer. Works fine.

What's the benefit of having both, if OOTP 8 can do everything OOTP 2007 can? I haven't gotten OOTP 8 yet, but planned to. Are there things you can't do that you can with 2007?

I had seen that. But what I meant was, since v8 does everything 2007 does as well as what's outlined in that thread, why would you still keep 2007 on your computer? It's not a criticism by any means, I just to be sure I'm not missing something.

Ahhh, I see. Sorry, misunderstood ya. I never did get v2007 but if I had and then I got v8, I'm sure v2007 would be where v2006 is.

The only thing I could think of is since they are almost the same you could always use v2007 to test a bunch of stuff or settings as to not mess up your v8 stuff.

No need to apologize Your explanation makes sense. You import into v8 as a save, but test in 2007 until it's all working well.
