create a new folder and install it to that
call it Carrara beta
you can reinstall copies of your plugins to that folder too
you manually create a shortcut to the program or your C8.1 dep on which one the desktop shortcut goes to
I actually replaced C8.1 64bit but reinstalled C8.1 64bit to my external drive if I really need it, I have C8.1 32bit and C8.5 beta 64bit on my computer.
stuff done in the 32bit renders in the 64 so if I do not want to use the beta, I just do it in the 32bit save and then render in tge 64bit beta.

It says in the first paragraph of the announcement that it can run side by side to 8.1
Which mean I have to find updated versions of all my Plugins then such as DCG!

VERY important to do that. A default install of the beta will over-write the version 8 install. You must manually choose a different folder.
Should I uninstall the last Beta (I assume it won't touch the regular) or just install over it. I don't want extra uninstallers hanging around either.
