Hello!

I have a HUGE problem (well… I have it with everything that is under miscrosoft how they do things. Sorry I cannot understand how forum and how MSFS is installed. It is like a virus)

Ok… I had to recover my computer with an acronis true image backup.
So everything was back to normal until I run MSFS where it couldn’t not download anything. I had to remove everything and install again, BUT the first time I did it was under microsoft Store so it made its install in the default area in packages folder etc etc…
NOW I have to reinstall it with XBox app (I hate it), so I have to select the C: drive and it tells me that I must select a folder.
I put C:/MSFS and it doesn’t allow it. If I go to the users/…/packages, then it allows me, but I don’t know if it is going to create a mess in my computer, because when I tried to install it in my F: drive that I have 2 external SSDs, it makes me 3 folders (Program Files, WindowsApps and WPSystem) but in the C:\Users\Nombre\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe area it creates dynamic links.
If I want to remove those 3 files in my SSD, then I have to allow permissions to me that I am the administrator to remove them. BUT if i plug my other SSD that I have, IT CREATES THOSE 3 SAME FOLDERS AGAIN and when I want to secure unplug the ssds I cannot because the dynamic links are pointing to the ssds… GREAT!!!

So can someone tell me the right way please to install it in C: and it won’t create a mess in my computer??? Thanks.

Ok… I fix it (I don’t know why in chromium with my login and password ok it says “uppps… we cannot access the forum” only in Firefox anyway…)

I could install it in C: I had to choose the C:\Users\Nombre\AppData\Local\Packages as the folder to do it. I was fear it would create those 3 impossible to remove folders. but it didn’t and didn’t create any dynamic links.
Please in FS2024 do it as Steam do in other games. Please… Just choose your folder of install and install it there. Nothing more in other hidden places (of course ok with roaming files)
