I read in a forum many if not all who purchased the premium are seeing the same thing. Me included. It was written that as the regular version hasn't really been released, yet, or installed on your computer, the other two upgrades will not work until it is installed. Guess I'll see if he was right when it is released for install/use.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 will not work on this device?
Hello,
I am excited about the new flight simulator! I just purchased the Premium Deluxe edition from the Microsoft Website and seem to have installed the standard edition. I can see this in the Microsoft Store App. However, the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe edition have an exclamation point by them, and it sais that this will not work on your device for both the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe edition. I am wondering if I will still be able to access all the features of the Premium Deluxe and Deluxe edition because I paid for them. It seems like the two upgrade versions have not been installed, only the standard edition. It also sais the same thing for a lot of my other apps, but I don't use them. Thank you!

2020-08-18T17:15:21+00:00 I have the same Issue. Bought the deluxe version, but not even the standard version wants to install. Got a serious power house of a machine, so it cant be my PC.
Any Advice?
My machine is also well endowed - upgraded specifically for the launch of the new MFS. I am having the same issue as you - having purchased deluxe but cant get standard to work. Have shut down (not just restart) and rebooted twice and I finally managed to get what looked like a VERY slow download a couple of hours ago, but it took so long I stopped the process and reset the microsoft store. Unfortunately, again, this has not worked and I am now back to square one.
