32-bit and 64-bit GSX installed but only one uninstall option

Just to to the Options->Add-ons menu of the sim. There, you can disable an add-on ( only those installed with the add-on.xml method will appear there ), without worrying about uninstalling it.

That was the method I tried back in Feb but the CTDs continued. It was only after I uninstalled it I saw the messages about default files being restored and only then did the crashes stop. So knowing which files are involved and where they are would be extremely helpful as deactivating only leaves those files in place.
Other than that I agree it’s a better method.

I have uninstalled GSX and am now installing it for 32-bit P3D. It's an enormous install and looks to be taking well over an hour. And why update ALL my products when I just want GSX installing? Give the user the option to save a load of time.
virtuali:
Installing GSX shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
However, if you install using an OLD installer, the Live Update will have to update all files that has been released after that installer came out. It will surely will be much faster if you download the latest full installer, so the Live Update won't have much left to do.

I downloaded the FSX/P3D 32-bit installer from your site. It took around 40 mins for everything to be updated. Was that the correct way to do it? I didn't opt for Addon Manager to be removed with the GSX uninstall.
virtuali:
Please clarify if those 40 minutes ( which is very strange ), was the time to:
- Install GSX
OR
- Live Update GSX
OR
- Live Update other FSDT products that were also outdated
