   I think its OK. It definitely should go on underneath the flange. The top strip goes on afterward so moisture cant drip down behind it(the flange). I do that sometimes if it is more expedient. Then run building paper under it later.

   On a recent episode of Home Again, Riley was installing new
   construction windows. He only installed strips of house wrap along
   the 2 sides and bottom of window even with the inside edge, none at
   the top and no calking. Then nailed the flange. Is this the prefered
   method or do these guys know what they are doing?

   This is how the manufacturer says to do it.

   Most window manufacturers require bedding the nailing flange in caulk.

   If Riley's such a great carpenter, how come he's always bandaged up?
