Is there any way to not place data in the Windows Registry when
installing Lazarus on Windows? If I try installing two versions side-
by-side to try to find solutions to compatibility issues The two
versions share lots of information. It would be easier if the settings
placed in the registry were saved in a file within the Lazarus folder.
This would also prevent persistent settings when un-installing
Lazarus.

afaik, there is no data in the reigistry.

but Lazarus stores the data in you user dir:
C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\lazarus

use
--primary-config-path="C:\somepath\"
