Multibooting: Install applications in different locations?

I like to multiboot. My everyday OS is Windows 2000 SP4, and I have an alternate version on my main machine. It helps me troubleshoot problems and if I'm having a temporary problem in one installation, I can fall back on the other. I also boot Win98SE on the same machine on occasion. I have an application that only runs on Win98, is the reason.

In the Windows 2000 installations, can I install applications to the same directory? My applications total around 4.5 GB presently. What are the issues and how can I sort things out? Thanks for any insight, wisdom, etc.
 
There shouldn't be any reason why you can't that I can think of. The only problem would be mixing installed versions. Though if you are only installing a single instances of your application for win98, there shouldn't be any issues. You should be able to install any number of programs using your drive space, and are really just limited by your partition scheme more for space than anything. Though you are most likely using a FAT volume of some sort, as IIRC win98 doesn't have native ntfs support. Win2K should have no problems reading or writing to a fat volume.
