Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Installation Problems

I have managed to get as far as the "Welcomem Set Your Experience" screen ==> Content Manager" that seems to keep restarting the download for "asobo-aircraft-b787-10-0.1.35.fspackage".

The download will sometimes get to around 30% and then reset back to start again, while other times it may only get to 7% or 12%.

Why is this happening?

My internet is reasonably stable with a consistent download bandwidth of between 30MBPS to 50MBPS.

Thanks!

    I have been flying flight simulator since sublogic on a commodore 64 to fsx and i just bought a brand new **** puter to play msfs 2020.. Started the download, went to bed, woke up and the installation stopped.

    Restarted it.. It stopped again. Now the loop continues.

    Restarted it and im going to work..When i come back if its not ready and this continues im going to be very very angry and never purchase anything from Microsoft again.  

    Hope it works. Reading these posts is making me soooooo depressed. This game sounds like a turkey that isnt cooked.

    ps.  I tried opening your bat file to fix it and stupid windows 10 wont let me open it even as administrator.

    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.
