Why don’t you change the install path to your D: drive?

Thank you.

MSFSRonS, I have had the drive path to D: drive since the game was released in 2020, no problems until today.

Also, the address used for this error is on C:/ drive, so there should be no conflict.

If you had MSFS installed on D to begin with, then I would close the sim down, and double check that path, as it looks like you are about to embark on an un-needed re-install of MSFS into the default path.

For example, my sim is installed on my D drive. If I open the following file, you can see that path listed:

“C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\UserCfg.opt”

InstalledPackagesPath "D:\Flight Simulator"

I would double check your path, shut the sim down, follow that link, and edit that line to match where your existing MSFS install is located.

No conflict, but as I say you are going to be pulling down potentially hundreds of GB’s for no reason.

Having some trouble trying to install the game overall and I need some help. I’ve tried following some instructions on several different forums from steam and this website but none have worked. It only keeps saying that I do not have enough space on my current drive on my pc. Can someone help please thank you!
