Could anyone tell me please if it is possible to run two versions of the Bitcoin qt client independently on the same pc...?.

The reason I ask is that I wish to make a bitcoin gift to someone on a USB memory stick.

So I run a fresh wallet....send, send some Bitcoin to it...then, then move the whole thing onto a USB stick for the other person to use at some point in time.

Does that sound sensible or is there a better way of doing this  ?.

I already have and run my own wallet.

The person concerned doesn't have a pc of their own at the present time. Any help much appreciated.
