FSX Gold Question

Hi all.

I've got what is probably a stupid question, but I'm hoping someone has an answer for me, so I can decide whether or not I need to back everything up for a full reinstall.

I have FSX Deluxe, but never got around to buying Acceleration. I finally decided I should pick it up, since more and more add-ons seem to need things from Acceleration. After checking Amazon, and realizing there was only a 2 dollar difference between the stand-alone Acceleration expansion and the Gold version, I decided to pick up the Gold version.

Since I've already got FSX Deluxe (with SP2) installed, will I be able to just install the Acceleration stuff from the gold disk(s) over my existing install, or will I have to uninstall Deluxe before installing Gold w/ Acceleration? Also, if I can install just the Acceleration stuff from the Gold disks, is there any reason or benefit as to why I should consider uninstalling Deluxe first, and then doing a complete install of everything from the Gold disks?

Thanks in advance for any advice or information on this. :)

Just run the new acceleraion disk...it may prompt you to uninstall SP2 first..if so just do that..
 
Thanks Harleyman. :)

That's the answer I was hoping for (as I really don't want to have to uninstall and re-install). I wasn't sure if Acceleration was actually it's own disk/installer, or if it was just a single setup program for the Gold version that automatically installed both Deluxe and Accel.

Thanks again. :)
