What I did was something along the lines of: 1. create a new empty database in MySQL. 2. create a new server folder for the SVN trunk, and point it at the correct repositry branch (http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/trunk/server), and do an SVN update. 3. copy the preference file into the new folder. 4. run squeeze center in a CMD window, telling it to import preferences. 5. stop squeeze center and edit the new prefs file (under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Squeeze Center\prefs), to point it at the new DB. 6. run squeeze center as a service. 7. bring up WebUI, telling it to ignore the wizard.
Then, you have two independent setups. Not much point having a single DB, as each time you switch, SC would have to rebuild it anyway. Step 4 will I think cause the old DB to be upgraded for SC7, so if you ever run 6.5 again, it would need to do a full rescan, but after that, they should work independantly.
