If you look at the batch file it allows you to control the placement of all calibre related files, so if you are keeping them separate there should be no issues.

It would be interesting to see if you can run two versions of calibre in parallel if they are using completely different sets of files. I have never tried it, but it may well work. However if you decide to try it i would strongly recomment having backups of your library before trying in case it goes wrong and you end up with a corrupt library.
