"There is already a crytek application running.cannot start another one."

I get this message.

I want to have 2 windows of Crysis.exe on my PC.

Any Help? Thanks.

^Reasonably straightforward, not recommended for tournament play.

As far as I know, he doesn't need a virtual machine.

Create several user accounts for Windows 7, run each individual application by using "Run As..." and selecting the different users.

For the "Run As..." option to appear when right-clicking an application, you need to have multiple accounts AND to right-click the .exe while holding SHIFT.

Also works for Windows 8.

I remember reading on Crydev.net that there is a commandline switch for that.
But I can't find it, sry. :(

Sandbox it.

A VM is a bad idea due to performance loss.

You were able to open multiple instances of the retail version by using -devmode i believe but getting around Steam is a little trickier.

May I ask why you wish to do this and perhaps there is a workaround for your specific needs.
