Question

Why can't v3.0 and v4.0 of DS Data be installed on the same PC?

Answer

Because both v3.0 and v4.0 of DS Data have a Service name called "dsdata." And on a given PC, only one name can be registered as an OPC Service name. Thus when you are installing v4.0 it will ask you to uninstall v3.0.
