Hi Steve,

Don't know about two installation of same component issues, but two things.
Make sure that you buy additional 512 MB of ram. Or for bigger projects upgrade to 2GB of RAM. This way whole DB will be cached in
RAM and your system will not swap memory on HDD.

Also disable all antivirus software's for test.

Regards,
Slobodan
