Msfs says I need install disk

Does anyone know where I can get the msfs install iso? I need iso because I don’t have a disk drive. Apparently Microsoft requires it. I followed the instructions from the troubleshooting page but when I used the ps commands I got prawnd with the second command because it sent me to the Windows store but the game services page is gone. So now I am reverting my os to a couple weeks ago to restore whatever that help page messed up.

Any clues on the iso?

There is no ISO.

So I would have to purchase the disks?

You already have MSFS correct?

Yes. I have a digital license. Reverting my OS seems to have fixed it. Reverting the OS has inadvertantly rekt my PMDG installations but I know how to fix those using an uninstall tool. No idea about that but I’m not worried.

I have no idea why this happened. It’s been over 1400 hours since my last major issue so I I’m not mad or anything. MSFS has been pretty stable for me.

Have you seen that support article ?:

Thanks for the reply. Yes I was going through that list when the ps command sent me to a bad Microsoft Store product page for gaming services. I modified the first command to install package instead of remove but err not found. That was when I reverted my OS. Then the problem was gone.
