Hi,
I have a big problem since today’s update. Because of a problem on my pc, I had to reinstall the game, but it now hangs at the step mentioned in the title of the topic.
If someone has a solution, I’m interested.
I recommend to quit the process and start the update/installation again.
I will try this.

TBH I’m at the stage where I am going to quit the process and just go back to the stability of XP11.

Sorry to hear that.
Download netlimiter and and set speep to 500
I finally found the solution, connected to my VPN and chose New York. Since then it works pretty well and I have a good download speed.
PS: I am in Western Europe

Use CyberGhost VPN or another VPN supplier. Install it on your pc and voila
Thank that The solution
Dont have a VPN. Can i still do something ?
My solution did not work in the end.
Yet there I have just tested everything, I even reinstalled windows.
Try running a line direct from modem not though router. i also changed my adapter settings, speed and duplex to 100 mbps Half Duplex. It got me out of the looping and stuck downloads. I hope this helps you because I am very frustrated at having to go through all this just to update a program. I can imagine everyone is.
I also have this error. Incredibly frustrating!! I can’t move past 1%. Have tried restarting, no difference.
Has anybody found a fix yet? I can only use WiFi.
In 15+ years of gaming I have not had to resort to running physical cables to simply play a game.
Good for you guys you had 1%. Mine always got stuck at 0% since SU5. Tried millions of suggested solutions for more than a week!!
My solution? (and hopefully it will work) - Right now I am painfully waiting for a slooow download. I am on Steam version, so I installed the game in a friend’s PC with my steam account (with their slow internet) and it went past that problematic point. Nevermind slow, as long as it is moving forward. At this pace i guess this would take another 12-24 hours to complete. So after it installs on that PC, I would just copy the Packages folder into my sim PC. Hopefully it will work.
This problem has been plaguing lots of users and I do not know if there will ever be a universal fix or solution that works 
Very frustrating.
Deafening silence from Microsoft here - we are paying for a non functional game
Same problem here. I refuse to believe it’s location or speed related. What sketchy problems, totally msft panache
Same problem here. I’m stuck on asobo-flight-tutorials-newbasic-0.1.8.fspackage (Steam edition).
3rd attempt since yesterday and not able to install MSFS
After several attempts during weeekend and today, trying different solutions (different disks, admin rights, VPN) still staying stuck in same unpacking. (Steam version)
