When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

it is quite quirky so it hangs for long times seemingly being inactive. but give it time. especially if you use mechanical HDD or 6gb of RAM. also, try restarting the pc before installing the fmfs.
as far as I can see, the attached ISO file worked for everybody so chances are it should work for you as well.

Put the iso file where you want. Open it (double click) before starting FS.
You must see something like this in explorer: Dvd-station(G:) MFS DISK 1
Open flight simulator.
That's it.
We will give it a go. I have tried all that, giving the program up to two hours. and turned off all firewalls.
Great news for us terribly frustrated MSFS simmers and kudos to Gie Noeth for the ISO fix.
The enormous difficulty some of us have had with the install and startup process is an indictment on Microsoft for releasing a product that did not meet a fundamental consumer standard. Consequently I have come to regard it as the 737 Max of the flight simulator world on the install level, however I'm sure I'll get over it after a flight or two :-)
