It's no problem to have two separate installs on one hard-drive, just copy the root folder containing 4.08m to another folder, call it (for example) C: IL-2409beta, and unzip the beta patches into it. Rename any short-cuts you create before placing them on the desktop and bingo! Two version you can access.
Remember you will need to change versions in Hyperlobby if flying on-line - using the Disconnect/ Hold Control+Shift while clicking Connect/ Search & Highlight/ Save/ Connect method - and go enjoy the many new features of 4.09b.
