At what path do Daz Studio betas install?

Let me preface the question by saying that I'm fully aware of how you can set both the content installation path for DIM downloads and executable installation path for Daz Studio (in my case, Windows 64-bit) via the Install Manager.  In my case, for example, I have Install Manager set up to install Daz Studio into "D:\DAZ3D\App64\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4".  All well and good.

The question is, if I decide I want to install one of the new betas in addition to the release version I currently have installed (which is still 4.9, because I'm finishing up a project and not going to risk mucking things up), where does the beta install?  Same directory with a different EXE name?  Or different directory?  If the latter, where do I specify that in Install Manager?

Also, will the 4.10 beta be happy with the 4.9 CMS?

    It installs to DazStudio4 Public Build, so it's separate from your regular installation, though you can specify the root directory.

    As for the CMS, I'm not sure if it follows its own version or not, or if it will play nice with the older version.

    I would suggest setting up DIM to install 4.10 to a completely different location and see if it lets you keep 4.9. Back up your 4.9 installer first.

    I "share" CMS between DS4.10 Beta and DS4.6 (yes, that old!) and it works just fine for me.

    I'm assuming from this that your 64-bit software directory in DIM is D:\DAZ3D\App64 - so the beta will end up at "D:\DAZ3D\App64\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4 Public Build" as DAZStudio.exe
