It's mainly some message files and possibly some other things that will get messed up if you don't. We have been able to install new tools (ESQL/C in our case) in a new directory first and then bring over all other files from the original install directory by hand. There have also been some posts about more automatic ways of doing this that you may be able to find at http://www.dejanews.com (posted by Jonathan Leffler I think). What you should do is to install from the original media into a new directory, bring over the configuration files (and log files if they aren't placed somewhere else) and rename the directories (or your environement variables) when you have established that everything works as it should.
