I've changed OSs and have all FSX files still on the machine in a drive separate from all FS9 files. What does it mean when the desktop startup icon for FSX is double-clicked and a dialog box opens saying, "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."?

Not all of the files.
Your best bet, if you have the hard drive space, is to rename your current install.
Then install FSX to the original location.
Delete the new install.
Rename the old install to it's original name.
When you replaced the OS you lost things like the registry entries and SimConnect.
