1.29.30.0 "Missing Essential Packages"

Hey all, (@SeedyL3205)

Not sure what information will help with this issue, but I’ve just encountered it.

I had just cloned my hard drive and changed to a 2TB SSD, on launch most of 40th Anniversary content was missing. All new aircraft minus the calibri heli.

I unenrolled from Beta, rebooted, went to MS store which downloaded (MS store) files. No change in sim, booted with no update required but some missing 40th Anniversary content.

I re-enrolled in beta, and downloaded (MS store) files again, rebooted, but still same issue.

The sim is installed in a custom path (C:\MSFS) and is MS store version.

To force update the sim I renamed the old OneStore folder to force the sim to re-download the missing files. After completing I then encountered the ‘Missing Essential Packages’ message.

It might be worth noting that I can’t repair the files through the windows settings menu either.

Not sure hardware stats helpful but just in case…

  • Intel i9-9900K on a Aorus Z390 I Pro Wifi motherboard
  • 32GB Corsair Vengeance Ram, 2x16, 3200mhz DDR4
  • RTX3070 Gigabyte, Eagle OC 8GB
  • Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 TB PCIe NVMe M.2
  • 2x LG QHD Monitors, (27QN600)
  • Windows 11 22H2 22621.819

Happy to provide any other info, files lists, logs etc. I can also setup a remote desktop session for Devs if they want to interrogate a machine with the issue directly.
