Cross that bridge when we come to it. As long as you keep those pre-0.9.11 backups, you should be golden. If 0.9.12
still gives you trouble after a clean install with all 4 INI files deleted from the preferences folder, then INI file corruption isn't the primary suspect. Revert back to 0.9.10 and restore your backed up INI files.
If fresh, empty INI files DOES seem to solve the problem, then we'll probably need to work out a way for you to get me copies of your backed up, pre-0.9.11 INI files. That will help me narrow down which portions are prone to being corrupted when moving to 0.9.11+ (I should also be able to manually upgrade the ini files without losing any data).

It's possible, yes. But a little complicated on Windows. Especially newer versions where they make it more and more difficult for the average user to create/change environment variables.
You can easily specify a different location to install Sigil, but all versions on the same machine will still share the same preference files. One version of Sigil would need to be launched via a batch or cmd file that sets an environment variable which tells Sigil to look for its preferences somewhere else.
