May be you can try creating separate short-cuts (pif
files) where you can redefine the environment using
different autoexec.bat that defines environmental
variables. This method works for me for different
installations of Miktex that runs in parallel with no
conflicts. I did not try this with Axioms though.

Reading now the script in OpenAxiom, I see that it sets
the AXIOM variable like Gaby explained. However, this
script cannot run in Windows.
In both installers, I use the AXIOMsys executable,
following
the previous installer method.
If anybody has a suggestion of how I can handle this,
please let me know.
I apologize for any new friction I had introduced with
this.

We observed that installing OpenAxiom breaks an existing
Axiom install.
According to the above it appears that the AXIOM shell
variable collision
is not the problem. Can you try it again and see if you
can figure out
where the collision occurs? There is no technical reason
why the two
projects cannot coexist on the same machine.
