Yes, but they will need to be in 2 locations to use 2 different configuration files, and only 1 can be in the Program Files folder. So you can install in the default location and then just copy all the files from "Program Files (x86)\epg123" to something like c:\epg123. You will also have to manually create a scheduled task, or even better, just add actions to the existing task for the second location.

EDIT: adding actions will probably cause some issues with the GUIs when reading the task... never tried.

that Jurassic Park quote comes to mind here....

Now I'm curious. Can someone describe the use case here? I suspect the "4 lineups" is the key.
