MiKTeX now provides a complete musixtex stack, including musixflx, which in MiKTeX is a script that calls musixflx.lua. If you don't have musixflx.lua, MiKTeX will download it for you, just like any other missing package. What is the "problem"/"error"? If you don't want to use the MikTeX versions, just un-install them using the MiKTeX package manager. But for years there have been complaints that TeX distributions can't be relied on to support MusiXTeX; I suggest you at least try MiKTeX's musixtex before you do that. That is, try a "clean installation of MiKTeX 2.9" *before* installing the "latest MusiXteX" separately.
