It is never a good idea to state your question in the subject line only.
The better procedure is to write a descriptive subject line, then state
your question in full in the body of the message.
Just install it.
SM 2.0 installs to a different location then SM 1.1.18. Installing SM2
does not overwrite SM 1.1.18.
The profile migration wizard does not remove your 1.1.18 profile. It
copies the data to a different location. Form that point you have two
different profiles, one for 2.0 and one for 1.1.18.
If you prefer not to have the wizard migrate your data, simply shoose to
import nothing. A new blank profile will be created for 2.0.

I would take a much more prudent approach, since it is a fact that the
migration wizard does not always start and give you a choice:
Personnally, I have never seen it appear upon SM2 install. And even if
it does, the possibility of interference with your SM1 cannot ruled out.
Better be safe than sorry.
As I have stated in a different thread, it is wize to make a back up of
both SM 1 profile *and* installation folder, the latter because it may
contain add-ons which by design or customization did not install in the
profile folder. Just zip those folders, making sure the path is saved
along with the file (check the option in your zip program).
Then, and only then, go ahead, you are safe in case actually SM 2 messes
up your SM 1 installation, as it did for me (admittedly, my installation
is heavily customized, so this was something I expected).
