GSX Installation
virtuali:
GSX surely supports having FSX and P3D 4 ( and 5 too ) installed at the same time. In fact, it's DESIGNED to be like that.
However, if you are coming from a VERY old GSX version, one that used non-PBR objects in P3D 4 too, it's probably best if you uninstall GSX entirely, and reinstall using only the latest installers, both 32 and 64 bit, because if your installation is old, it would take way longer to download the updates than just installing from a newer installer.

What do you mean GSX too old? I do FSDT LiveUpdate more than once in a week. If LiveUpdate did updates without problems then I assume the GSX is up to date. So, I would uninstall GSX entirely from only P3Dv4.5
What do you recommend me to do?

You said "Do I need to uninstall from P3Dv4.5 the GSX 32bit before installing the 64bit?". Which leads to believe you might have a very old version, since if you ran the FSDT Live Updater recently, it would have installed the 64 bit version automatically.
Have you switched to 32 bit version manually ? In any case, if your GSX installer is recent, there's no need to uninstall anything. If you are running GSX in P3D 4.5 right now, and for some reason you want to add GSX for FSX, just run the 32 bit installer.

I never installed GSX2 64bit so I didn't change anything but LiveUpdate only. Liveupdate takes care for my both sim FSX and P3Dv4.5
I can go ahead and install the 64bit over the 32bit in P3Dv4.5
Should be OK?

I think there's a lot of confusion here. GSX has two installers:
- The 32 bit installer CANNOT be installed in P3D 4 or 5, not even by mistake. The installer will simply see only FSX or P3D 1, 2 or 3
- The 64 bit installer installs ONLY in P3D 4 or 5, you cannot install it in FSX, not even by mistake.
However, even with the 64 bit installer, at least until last September, the GSX support was an hybrid application, because it was made by a combination of the Addon Manager, which is a native 64 app compiled with the P3D 4 SDK, and the Couatl scripting engine, which is a 32 bit app, compiled with the FSX SDK, which connected to P3D in backward compatibility mode.
This until last September. With that update, we released a 64 bit version of the Couatl engine, compiled with the P3D4 SDK, and it's installed automatically by the FSDT Live Update so, unless you manually configured P3D4 to use the 32 bit version ( still possible ), if you kept the program updated, you ARE already running GSX entirely in 64 bit.
So, I'm now not fully sure what you are asking or what your issue is. If you installed GSX both in P3D and FSX, and you ran the FSDT Live Update recently, everything is as it's supposed to be. If you are missing GSX from FSX, just install the 32 bit installer, so it will be added to FSX.
