I doubt that this works. The reason is that both, the old and the new
version will search for *tex.pool. TeX is not designed for dealing
with different versions to be installed at the same time.
To install a new version of pdfTeX, just compile it,
copy pdftex and pdfetex (the binaries) to the place where the old
versions are,
do the same for pdftex.pool and pdfetex.pool,
run "texconfig init".

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
