I wish I could answer your?. However I have P3DV2.4 installed and FSX/SE installed same drive. The FSX/SE installed smooth and quick to the X86. Most my addon's detected the FSX/SE install and went right in no issue's. Here is the FSX/SE steam Thread, it might help explain what your seeking: http://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/di ... 729615790/

For me is a love hate thing... I love it because i have windows 8 and only the steam edition works.. And it seems that my computer can handle it ALOT better it seems to be better optimized then the boxed version... The only problem i have with it is the CVA mods are not working like the Dash 8. as far as i can tell only the textures work from CVA on steam edition. I hope i can fly the 747 and still get accepted cause i have no other choice... Edit: I say if you can still run the box version its probably the best choice unless you want mutiplayer back. because all the addons work on the box version but eventually everything will work on steam edition... I say if you have the space for it.. The game is compatible to be on the same drive as the fsx boxed version so you could install it and give it a go yourself

As far as I know any version should not be installed in any folder other than C:/FSX or you get ownership problems You can change the destination folder but it creates the string "F:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX" So the double FSX and steamapps and common can not be controlled.

They all installed fine no issue's. Note I removed my FSX Gold before installing the SE version. That can matter in some case's. As for the X86 folder SE had no permissions issue, I fired the UAC in W8.1 and gave it a nasty spanking, I am the boss not you little brat lol.

Don't know if this might be your problem with the Steam version.

I am lucky enough to have a computer running windows 7 and one running windows 8. I bought the Steam edition because it was $6.00 and put it on both. It works excellent on both editions with a sizeable jump in frame rate. The windows 8 has a memory of 8 and the frame rate is over one hundred.I have not have one instance of it closing on windows 8 as I did with the boxed edition which was often. The windows 7 has 4 and runs around 70 . On the boxed edition it was around 40 and I had problems with the Saitek Cessna Yoke elevator controls. I could not use it as the elevators made landing impossible. I still find even with the Steam edition the yoke does not work well on windows 8. It works very well on windows 7 though with the proper drivers installed. I have a CH fighterstick and it works well on both windows 7 and 8

I bought FSX steam for $10 on sale a couple of years ago and it is stable and works fine I have it installed on a separate SSD drive no problems at all gave up on P3D v2.5 kept crashing on me V3 didn't work and from what I gather P3D V4 is going to cause problems as most aircraft that worked in the other sims will not because it is 64 bit now but I guess the scenery is great as are other things but any add on's will have to be re bought for a small price and reinstalled. Been fooling around with X-Plane 11 and love the scenery planes are scares right now though ,
