I installed FSX, now dumped, P3D & 2x versions of FS9 all in thier original folders, after bringing the UAC setting right down.
I have never had any issues, editing cfg's or anything else. I've installed into W7, W8, W8.1 PC's & laptops at our local VA as well. Never a problem. I just think that a program should be installed where it is supposed to be. I also have a backup copy of the sim on a portable drive that I paste into it's normal directory & then patch the registry with Flight1's registry repair tool.
Just dunno why, with all the 10's of thousands of software out there, installs must change with Flight Sim!.
