Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Installation Problems

Presumably you have tried all the suggestions from the forum.  I did so without success then gave my new PC back to the retailer who also tried them but managed to install without great difficulty.  The only thing we could identify that he did differently was to completely uninstall MacAfee anti virus.  I had only turned it off, not uninstalled it. 

Good luck, I spent a week not installing it, the pro did it in an afternoon.

I have been trying to install MSFS 2020 also. It seems that when it gets to a certain point in the installation process it just hangs there and does nothing. I allow what I think is a sufficient amount of time to see if the installation will proceed and then I will close it  and try again. Today I am trying again and I am now up to 15 GB installed. So far so good but we'll see.

I believe that there may be issues with the ASOBO installation manager.

thanks  mate   but I don't understand  this language.

 

my download is looping back trying to down load the same file continuously.

The fix is stupid and Microsoft needs to fix their servers, but to get it to work I had to set my ethernet adapter to 10 Mbps and full duplex.  You can do so under Device Manager and find your Ethernet Controller then under Properties or Advanced go to where you can set the speed and take it off of Auto Negotiation and set it to 10 Mbps & Full Duplex then start your download.  It will look like it is going to restart a few times but trust me just let it go about an hour later and I had that massive 1.8.3 patch downloaded.

It's working for me I will keep you updated. I wonder (having a little knowledge in this subject) Have the compressed the files so much that they are now having issues with corruption of the data forcing the reset on the last file or is it the servers and their connection that's the issue. Please Can somebody come back to us on this. Even we don't know or you might be correct is better than nothing and at least we know you are trying to move forward. It really annoys me that large companies hide behind a wall of silence when thing don't go to plan ( and the often don't) Own up and lets work together to get a workaround till you fix the issue. Every body is a happy bunny then.  PS the down load is at 6% on fs-base-0.1.61.fspackage.002 which is more than it has done in the last 24hrs. After 2hours its still going I have also Altered the max frame rate of the sim to 20 FPS within the NVIDIA Settings . so it no longer knocks the smoke out of my graphics card  4hours in and its till going but will take approx 24

hours at this rate
