Basically, I would like to run multiple separate versions of bitcoind on the same device. The reason for this is that I need the wallets to connect to separate programs via rpc (armory, counterpartyd and potentially the new mastercoin wallet). The problem I had is that to do this, I have to change the rpc username/password in the bitcoin.conf file so that it is compatible with each of these programs. I can't make one version of bitcoind compatible with all of these programs together. I was advised to download different versions of bitcoind, is this possible to do on one computer? If so, how? Thanks.

You can multiple instances of bitcoind if you use different data directories.  Just create a shortcut for each of the instances you want to run and add -datadir=C:\"data_directory_for_that_instance" to the target line.
