Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Installation Problems / Clarification

If you are using the windows store app stop!

I had same problems and when I used a browser and went into the store via microsoft.com everything went smoothly.

Try using the link:

I hope this ends up working for you.

Thank you for trying. I had tried to do that (among a myriad of other efforts) for 8 hours a day for the past three days already (your link automatically takes me to a link that automatically opens the STORE I tried to avoid [I also tried the XBox app for PC]). The problem seems to be Microsoft are employing minority spastix to do part of organizing the coders. I have an XBox One X which uses the same e-mail as what I used to buy/install the game on PC, but as the Console does not allow this game to install (wrong model), it now seems to be not installing fully on my PC also because e-mail linked or some such (the install locks up after 10 or 20Gb of install (600Gb spare on the SSD [sometimes telling my my empty SSD is full]); But the Game used to work on this PC before all these recent updates the last month (where previously normal people likely used to do the coding).

I guess Microsoft are just trying to destroy the time of their customers in order to ensure we never buy anything from them ever again.

Hi,

I have been struggling with getting MSFS 2020 to install!

Pre-Purchased the Premium Deluxe Edition and i have a Windows 10 PC - and so far all attempts have failed at some point over the last 12 hours of trying.

First question - what is the order of installation that should be performed from the Microsoft Store across the items that are listed there in two parts:

1. Manage - with just one entry "Microsoft Flight Simulator: Premium Deluxe" and
2. Bundle Contents - that lists four sub-parts

2.1 "Microsoft Flight Simulator"

2.2 "Flight Simulator Deluxe Upgrade"

2.3 "Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe Upgrade"
2.4 "Digital Ownership"

Is there a particular order or hierarchy that these need to be installed?

i.e. do each of the sub-parts of point 2 above need to be installed individually and prior to the first part (i.e. point 1), or does installing the first (Managed) install all the others?

So far the downloads have been erratic, and i installed the first part and then launched it, it started up and then froze, and then crashed on restart. When trying to install the sub-parts, the computer just site there with "working" displayed on the sub-part line.

This is really frustrating!

Anyone able to provide some guidance or point to a set of instructions on how to get MSFS2020 installed?

thanks!

Pretty sure minority-chimps coded this garbage gamesim install chaos to eff up normal customers & cause us to refuse finance to Microsn0t any further.

Thank you, that is very kind and helpful indeed.

I can't tell you what went wrong, but I do know that Microsoft has a special support site for MSFS2020, where they can answer your questions.

You can find it at https://www.flightsimulator.com/.

It's a much more useful, and responsive, site for MSFS2020 than this generic Microsoft support site.

Good luck.
