I think that side by side installation is already possible by defining different installation directory (not 100% sure, I have to try it) both on single platform (32 or 64) and on mixed platform (32 and 64). The problem is PATH variable, which can point to only one installation and we should decide which one (actually we should decide how the new installed path is appended to the PATH variable: at the beginning or at the end). I think that the side by side uninstallation also works on single platform, but it surely doesn't work cross-platform, since each platform uses different (part of) registry. I think that detection and uninstallation of different platform is possible by using SetRegView NSIS command.
