Use "search" - someone posted a script for this a short while ago.

You have one or two suggestions here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44029&highlight=script+2.5+2.07)

Though I personally did this:

1. Install 2.07.
2. Go to c:\windows\system32 and rename avisynth.dll to avisynth_207.dll
3. Install 2.50
4. Go to c:\windows\system32 and rename avisynth.dll to avisynth_250.dll
5. Create a file named Avisynth207.bat which should contain the following:

copy /y c:\windows\system32\avisynth_207.dll c:\windows\system32\avisynth.dll


6. Create a file named Avisynth250.bat which should contain the following:

copy /y c:\windows\system32\avisynth_250.dll c:\windows\system32\avisynth.dll


Just run the bat file with the version you want each time you want to make the switch.


Edit: Realised I could make the batch files even easier.
