Hi Venkat,

Well its possible but will conflict if the setting are same.. so be sure the settings are different and the drives too... But its not recommended.

And also you need 64 Bit OS (if not present) for XI 4.0. So its better to install BI 4.0 on different Systems.

Let me know if this helps,

There is no existing requirement that the seperate installations need to be on seperate drives.

Also,

The client tools are 32-bit and will work on either a 32-bit OS or a 64-bit OS.
