I am having an issue with the MS Store installation of MSFS Standard (detailed below). I am hoping someone has dealt with and worked out a fix for this issue.
Not posting in #bugs-and-issues as the issue seems to be with the MS Store and not the sim.
I have Premium Deluxe installed through Steam on my M drive. I am wanting to install my Standard edition from the MS Store on the same drive. However when I click the install button in the MS store it only lets me select from C (not an option), and D (not enough space). It is as if every part of my OS can see that drive but the MS Store.
I know a duel installation is possible because I had one a few months ago, but I seem to be stuck. I’ve tried Googling to see if others have had this issue before, but I’m clearly using the wrong search terms.
Furthermore, I contacted MSFS Support (Zendesk), but there were unable to help instead directing me to Microsoft Store support. Unfortunately, Microsoft only provides a toll number for support meaning I’d be paying 20 something cents a minute, including hold time, just to see if they had an agent that knew the answer.
Hoping someone here has faced a similar situation with the MS Store or is better at Googling than I am.
I leave C drive for core applications only (Windows, Office 365, IDEs, etc.). I do not install games on this drive. It is M drive that I want to install on, and that is not being provided as an option.
While you were composing your last message, I opened [Windows] settings → storage → change where new content is saved. I then changed “New apps will save to” from C to M. I went back into the Windows Store and started the download, and I have now changed M back to C in my settings.
I’ll let you know in a little bit if it installs where expected, thanks for all your help.
