    I want to try out this server but I don't want to change my current install. Can I install another copy of D2 to use with this server?

    Why? I wouldn't be playing on another server at the same time I'm playing here.

    I think it's still possible if you clone the game in to a different directory or a disk. All game files, patches and everything else would be in 2 different folders/disks so I think it's not a problem.
    Just when installing the new D2 don't overwrite your existing one. ;)

    ya you can, just copy your folder to another place so everything you do there will be applied to that folder.
    just dont install again, copy the folder.

    You can , but if you want to play diferent versions (for example : 1.13 and 1.10) need to fix your registry (at regedit)

    @sync, just make a copy of your diablo2 folder, however in case you are playing two different versions as @Ultimative gave you an example, you will need to fix registry files. In case you have 1.14 installed then you will need a complete reinstall because if you used the game web installer you won't be able to downgrade to 1.13c
