January 8, 200719 yr I have just added a new HD to my PC and reinstalled WinXP onto a new RAID0 array. I have installed FSX, but forgot to install FS9 first. Does it matter which gets installed first? I don;t know if there are any common system files or not.Thanks- Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.

They can be installed in either order.Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

January 9, 200719 yr Actually there is one thing that install order may affect: File type associations. AKA which Sim runs when you doubleclick a flight file in an Explorer window.As far as DLLs both programs use, FS9's installer shouldn't overwrite any newer files. Only thing I know of for sure that would be used by both (other then stuff that comes with Windows) is Direct X stuff. And Direct X's been version smart for a long time. :)"Let me help you out.
