Can multiple versions of Outlook be installed on the same machine?
Here's the dealio...
I work with clients running various versions of Outlook on their machines. When I work with a client running 2003, 2007, or 2010, I have to physically change the computer I am working from so that I can "share" their experiences during a consulting session.
I would like a way to have all three versions installed on my system, but I would only run one version in a given setting. They would never be running at the same time.
I have seen instances where there is a registry icon on the desktop for each version of a program that you simply double click. It then changes everything so that when you launch the application, the respective version is then launched. I was hoping someone could advise me on how I might do this with Outlook - or if it is even possible.

Similar to zamarius's comment, I knew a consultant who would setup a VM workstation for himself on his client's network. If the client had problems, he would start up that workstation and use it for troubleshootnig them - this way, his config always matched the client he was working on.

The solutions offered do answer my question, but are not easy to implement. The responses were very timely. I split the points 300/200 between the 1st and 2nd responders to be fair.
