Ah, on second thoughts that probably won't help. But here's another idea:
set the environment variable GRETL_HOME to either

"C:\Program Files\gretl_cvs" or
"C:\Program Files\gretl"

 hen starting the program.

Thanks Allin, 

I tried that, but gretl still runns gnuplot from wich ever install was done last. I haven't tried your first solution yet. Just to check, the GRETL_HOME can be changed via the GUI through Tools - > Preferences? 

I could just use the USB version for one of the installations?
