Re-install FSX on Windows 8

Hi all,

I am in the midst of making "The Big Change" going from FS9 to FSX. Yes it's been a few years, but I recently bought a new system good enough to give me a nice experience in FSX.

However, during the installation of FSX (Gold) the other day, I was a bit excited and missed to create a custom directory for FSX.

Now, I do have an SSD set aside for FSX alone. This is the disk I installed it on, but under a "Program Files (x86)" directory.

From what I've heard, this could produce problems, even though it actually sits on a completely different physical disk from Windows 8.

I tried to uninstall FSX but ran into trouble.. Acceleration uninstalled just fine, but when inserting the FSX Disc1 and running setup, there was no option to Uninstall. Neither does FSX show up in the Control Panel-->Applications.

So my two questions are:

1. Do I need to re-install FSX, due to the directory it was installed in?

2. If so, how do I properly uninstall FSX?

Any help is appreciated.

Kind Regards

PS

I don't want any replies saying "Install Windows 7 instead, Windows 8 sucks".
