Classic Hangar Fw-190 FSX to P3D

I decided to give these wonderful birds a try in P3D. Now I am wondering what files I need to copy from FSX in to my P3D install to get them working. I thought I grabbed all of the effects, gauges, and the aircraft from the objects folder. But when I go to give one of the butcherbirds a try, P3D crashes on me. Am I missing something?

Probably this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Classics Hangar

But IMHO you need to install the bird, not copy individual things...
 
I have tried to change the address that the installer will go to, but unfortunately it does not allow me to change the install folder, other than to FSX. Am I missing a permission that I should have for Windows 7?

Go to P3D folder and make a copy of Prepar3D.exe. Save it somewhere else and rename to FSX.exe. Copy to P3D folder....now you just direct your install to FSX.exe on P3D folder....This should do the trick...
