Just install into a test folder and use portable mode ( kodi.exe -p) so that it looks for data in the portable_data folder (copy your stuff in there).

I actually run my main Kodi this way too now - it keeps all the data nicely encapsulated and the whole thing is trivial to back up then
With this approach you can have many version alongside each other quite simply...at one point I had Frodo, Gotham, Helix and Isengard betas all running, so I could test my addons. But I've given up now on the older ones...
Main thing to be careful about is DB versions when running multiple things alongside of each other.
