My W7x64 setup had FSX installed on a second drive which naturally took it
outside of Programme Files.  UAC was not disabled and everything ran fine,
including connecting to IVAO. I say had because a power surgesaw my mobo get
fried so I'm now back to FS9 XP on my old PC.

Hi all,

Could I get a bit of advice from all the FSX Win7-64bit users out there?

I'm moving to a Win7-64bit system in the next few weeks and have read
various forum threads on how FSX should be installed/configured. My only FSX
installations to date have been on XP-32bit so this is all new territory for
me. Should I turn UAC off or install outside the "Program Files" folder? Do
I need to delete the UIAutomation dll? Install FS/scenery/OS on separate
HDDs? Lots of questions which I'm sure you guys will have gone through to
set up your systems.

Any advice on installation and configuration would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Phil
