Reinstalling MSFS

Hello,
sorry, i am struggeling with reinstalling MSFS.
I bought the Game via MS Store, but now i should install it always via the X-Box App:

But that is 1. not what i want and 2. the X-Box App want to install MSFS then into C.XboxGames ???

Install through the Xbox app, it will allow you to choose the location.

Hmm…ok, but should i really install in C:\XBoxGames ???
As i wrote, i want to install in the DEFAULT MS Directory.

As of this:

It should be installed in
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

… and i want that

The installer gives you the option to choose the location as well, I believe if you click on the path that shows up, it will allow you to change it.

Yes, i do that not every day, so i was afraid the MSFS will be installed there, but it was only the installer.
The MSFS itself is now correctly installed.

Can be close…thanks

I actually just have the same problem as well.
I was always able to install MSFS directly from MS-Store. Now I suddenly have to download the Xbox.
Why?

A few months ago Microsoft has changed the procedure for installing and updating too.So,you must do that with the xbox app.You may do a search in the forum using the “search” icon on the top of the screen to find many posts on this regard.
