Possible to install BG:EE twice on the same machine?

So, I was curious if this is possible, is there any way to install BG:EE with SoD twice on the same machine? I have it installed via the standalone installer currently, if I added a second installation from Steam would it be possible to have the two games be completely separate? For example, if the steam version was the beta, but I wanted to keep my original game version totally separate... Is there any way that this is possible, say by creating a second user account to keep the documents folder saves/portraits etc. from overlapping?

    By default the game install folders have separate locations, but they will want to look at the same save game folder. Using a separate user account is one way to get around that.
