It's actually possible to have them both installed and switch between which is active.
That's how I did it:
  • If at any point a trainer asks to update or enable automatic updates, decline
  • Start with all trainers uninstalled and to be safe delete %localappdata%\Garmin
  • Install Trainer 2.7.1.0 with BOTH installation paths in the same root and subdirectory (replace [root] with the path you chose for all instructions), like:
    [root]\active\Trainers
    [root]\active\ProgramData\Trainers
  • Only install the modules you need for 2.7.1.0 (eg GTN module but not GTNXi module)
  • Copy the complete content of [root]\active into a new directory [root]\v2
  • Uninstall the 2.7.1.0 Trainer. Also delete [root]\active to remove any missed files. Might need to again delete %localappdata%\Garmin (I wasn't getting the latest GTNXi module later if I didn't do that)
  • Install Trainer 3.0.1.0 with both installation paths EXACTLY THE SAME as you chose for 2.7.1.0, like again:
    [root]\active\Trainers
    [root]\active\ProgramData\Trainers
  • Again only install the modules you need from this trainer
  • Rename [root]\active to [root]\v3
  • In [root] create 2 batch files.
    1. v2.bat:
      @echo off

      if exist [root]\active\ (
        rd [root]\active
      )
      mklink /J [root]\active [root]\v2
    2. v3.bat:
      @echo off

      if exist [root]\active\ (
        rd [root]\active
      )
      mklink /J [root]\active [root]\v3
  • You can now switch the active trainer version with the bat files.
