Co-installation of PureBasic

I have Purebasic v4.61 (Windows -x64) installed on my Windows 7 HP laptop. Can I have Purebasic v4.61 (Windows -x86) installed alongside the x64 version without any conflicts with environment variables, registry entries or folders? Or is there a way to have the 32bit Purebasic compiller separately installed, then use compiler options to select it when I want to compile code in 32bit? When I upgrade to version 5.0 or 5.10 will the same hold true?

Yes, just install each one in its own directory. It's explained in the manual.

Just install them as described above.
From the IDE of your choice (x64 or x86) you can then select which compiler you want to use every time you want to compile something.
Ho to do that for both projects and single files it's explained in the manual.

You can install the new versions in parallel to the old ones or upgrade the old ones.
PB it's quite versatile from this point of view.
