- Install patch, which will only apply to the "Firaxis Games" folder
- Fix up the shortcuts on your desktop by going into your "Beyond the Sword" folder inside both "Firaxis Games" folders, right-clicking on "Civ4BeyondSword.exe", and sending to desktop
- Rename new desktop files appropriately (eg "Civ4 BTS 3.17" and "Civ4 BTS 3.19")

Hope that helps!
do you also create a new folder in the my games folder system? If not, where do your saves and screenshots for the 3.17 version go?

I don't think you need to create a new my games folder although you can if you want. You would then want to go into the BTS directory where you have the main game installed and adjust all the shortcuts there to point to the new folder.

However, as per my earlier post I'm willing to go ahead and do the 3.19 upgrade if everyone wants.

No, that's not necessary. All screenshots go into the same folder. That's part of the reason why I do my duel installs in that particular way - I like having all my screenshots in one place rather than having to dig through different folders.
