Well you must have something left on there from FSX. The whole intention of FSX-SE was to look like FSX when installed. But if any component of FSX is found during the install, then the install is elevated to the dual mode. If you've installed FSX-SE in dual mode, then that will have to be removed in full too, before installing.
make sure you got rid of these:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
cfg:
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.CFG
documents:
C:\Users\<you>\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files
pics:
C:\Users\<you>\Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files
and see that the registry key is removed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0
FSX-SE installed parallel to FSX-MS:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\appmanifest_314160.acf
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX-SE
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE
cfg:
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE\fsx_se.CFG
documents:
C:\Users\<you>\Documents\Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition Files
pics:
C:\Users\<you>\Pictures\Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition Files
