Yes, also known as %APPDATA%\lyx16. LyX 2.0 stores its settings in
%APPDATA%\LyX2.0. Some settings are also stored in the registry (mostly what
position on the screen windows were left in), but these are also separated by
major version.
The only possible conflict I think of that both install the virtual printer
"metafile to eps converter", which helps with including graphics in LyX
documents. Installing both isn't a problem, but I'm not sure what happens when
you *uninstall* one of them - perhaps this printer gets removed? I'm not sure.
If this happens though (assuming you use graphics and even notice), an
uninstall/reinstall of the remaining version should fix it. To make sure your
settings are unaffected, uncheck "delete settings" when uninstalling.
