C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:ryzomalt /savecred "C:\Games\Ryzom Alt\client_ryzom_rd.exe"
Naturally, replace my windows system32 path with your own, and replace your new Ryzom install directory too, including the quotes.
Open the 'client.cfg' file in your new Ryzom directory, and make the following change:
DisableDirectInput = 1;
Then add this line to the end of the file:
BackgroundDownloader = 0;
That's it! You should now be able to click on the new shortcut you made, and Windows should bring up a console asking you for the password to the Windows account you made earlier. Type this password in and your second client should load!

I tried that and the second instance wouldn't work; it looked for all the Ryzom files in the windows\system32 directory.
using above method to just start a command-window with
C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:ryzomalt /savecred "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"
and then starting client_ryzom_rd.exe from there worked...
