You don't have to install a second Qt Creator, but just start another instance of it.
Normally you can also run several run configurations in one instances, but the internal/external terminal is a global setting, so you can't have both at the same time in one instance of Qt Creator.
-
If you really want to run from a single Qt Creator (though starting a second instance is IMHO the better option), you could write a script that runs in the internal terminal, launches Application_1 and starts an external terminal (like xterm on Linux) and runs Application_2 there.
Building two applications from Qt Creator at the same time could be doable, but is certainly a lot more involved.
