Actually, this is not needed; tho officially not supported, it works fine.
Well almost - there's one small thing (with I can't remember) that does not
seem to work 100%, as the regitry entries are the same for both versions.
Other than that, all registry settings are quite version dependent
(you can check the similarities in your .reg files, Hans-Dieter: none)
Besides, double click on a reg file will actually merge the data.

You can even run Designer/Developer versions 1.3.2 and 2.1.2
"concurrently"

We run different versions on our system but not concurrently. We had
installed Developer Version 1 (32 bit). Then we exportet the registry
entry "hkey_local_machine - software - oracle" to a dev_v1.reg file.
Then we deleted the mentioned oracle section in the registry. Now we
installed the new developer version 2 on a different path. Now we again
exported the registry entry "hkey_local_machine - software - oracle" ,
which now is from the version 2, into a dev_v2.reg file. To switch
between the versions we just double click on either dev_v1.reg or
dev_v2.reg, respectively. This works fine.
