Installation Issues & Bugs Megathread

Yes, the 20197 build is fixed. Happily downloading 91gig of flight sim now.

How can we access to this build? I am on the insider program, but I can’t find it.

Go to settings then “update and security” at the bottom.
Then click on “check for updates”,

Ah! 
 I did it, restart and the game still does not launch and download (still the “insert disc” stopper). Sadly, no advance for me.

Grrrr

Hopeless

Yes it’s work on the new build I’m playing now it has zero issues, you need to remove everything including Xbox pass and reinstall with admin right and possible rebuild the store if needed! It def works currently is installing on a second computer with no issues and flying on my main pc

Graham remove everything uninstall current installer and Xbox app reinstall Xbox app using admin rights and go for install 100 percent works zero issue if you start a clean install properly

When you say remove everything - what exactly and how

I have deleted the FightSimulator from WindowsApps and done a wsreset

What else do I need to do - Im pulling my hair out here !!

the Xbox app too

Mine does the exact same thing, can’t seem to fix it. Deleted, uninstalled, etc
 tried Windows Store and XBox Game Pass
 no luck.

Still no luck for me. Uninstalled Xbox, installed the beta and purge the Store and again the pesky “insert disc”.
8-(

ÂżNo querĂ­amos todos que nos dieran acceso a la BETA para probar el simulador? Pues toma BETA pĂșblica de Microsoft Flight Simulator. Si es que habĂ­a tanto hype que se han envalentonado en microsoft y nos han soltado este pedazo de kk para nuestro disfrute. Llevo mĂĄs de 20 horas gastadas en intentar poner en marcha esta basura y no paso del “inserte el disco” 
 en fin.

Que microsoft nos lo ha vuelto a hacer.

I don’t know what you are guying doing wrong with windows 10 developers built but maybe you shouldn’t be on it and format and install regular windows 2004 built?? Serious this is for testing and bug fixing if you can’t make it work the developers Chanel is not for you

Everyone uninstall the Xbox and flight simulator and rebuild the store using power shell command fix

Open power shell as admin and run this

Get-AppXPackage -allusers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Reboot your pc and run Xbox app as admin right click then download installer and run that as admin right click.

I am now on my 3rd pc for a customer with new windows and it’s working 3 computers in the row cannot be a mistake.

You are doing something wrong

The insert disk you need to reset your region option and update clock via update setting

Use power fix to reset the store forget all other fixes you need to delete the store and start fresh using power shell

Guys with with windows 10 dev issue message me and I’ll give you my email maybe we can do remote session for free and I can fix your pc??

This didn’t work. Also, I tried subtracting one hour from my GMT now GMT+1 and +1 by summer time, so +2, and going to a region with one less hour 
 I am really crazy now. X-)

Mine just keeps flashing between the things below. Super frustrating after 4 days.

oh, thought you might be in the Insider preview group.
There was a fix with closing and restarting the content manager.
