No problem, just make one of those installations portable. Otherwise, both versions will use the same location for the configs and indexes.
Just create a folder portable in the location where GoldenDict.exe is located. All the configs and indexes will be stored there. The dictionaries should be in content folder.
In fact, I *always* use GoldenDict in such portable mode. It is nice and very convenient to have everything in one directory, including the dictionaries, configs, indexes, etc. Easy to backup, easy to move, etc.
