MSFS wanting to install itself again

So. I´ve just started the sim wanting to fly some VFR, but an install manager screen in windowed mode pops up and … It wants to reinstall the game. I have no idea why. It just installs all of it again, although the game files are in the folder where I want them to be (even the game knows where the folder is, it just seems to not know the files are there). I don´t want to reinstall that. It takes about 4 hours with my connection. I purchased the game through steam and I´m playing on a pc.

direct the installer fo the map where the game is installed and it will start up normal.
At least did with me when I had this.
good luck

Hmm. I pressed the verify button on steam I think. Well that explains it. It looked like all the files were in the folder, but it was only 6GB. I guess I just have to reinstall it.
Thank you :slight_smile:
