Copying Packages to speed up install not working

So I have MSFS installed on a PC, and am trying to install it on a different PC. To speed it up, I copied most of the folders in the Packages/Official/Steam directory (about 100GB).

I then fired up MSFS installer, pointed it to the correct directory, and it began downloading…but saying it had 110GB left to download :expressionless:

I expected it to only have a few GB to download as I had already copied the bulk of the data over! Anyone know how to get MSFS installer to recognize data already copied to the Packages folder??

I might be wrong, but I think you can only do that with items in the community folder if its on a different PC?

There is a .cfg file that needs to be edited pointing the game to the new path.

IIRC it is in the AppData.
