MSFS CTD on initial loading for update, installation or launch, can't get into menu

,

The crash logs from software called AppCrashView label the error as an access violation. This could mean one of two things. Either it isn’t allowed to access a certain area of ram, or it isn’t allowed to access a certain simulator file. I only started receiving the error after modifying the file en-US.locPak and have since not been able to play even after reverting the file and checking that the software had permission to access it. The file is located in the Official package set under a folder called fs-base. I don’t know how to fix it and am still unable to play Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We shouldn’t have to look at cryptic error reports, upon crash the simulator should tell us exactly what the faulting file, data value, or code was so that we can act accordingly.
