You mentioned separage installs+config-dir variable as a linux solution -- why won't this work on Windows too? Also, again, there is no need to have multiple copies of the program binaries, unless you want to run multiple versions of the program.  The second copy will also default to using the default config-dir.  |
But whatever one does, it confuses non tech users, I know this from my community support activities. You have to copy data you don't understand, write batch files, put them somewhere etc etc. Easy if your moderately tech savvy, but an eye watering black art for many
The firefox 'front end' that provides a means to create and select different profiles (configurations) may be an alternative approach.
