Well there you go – 1.13.16.0 downloaded and installed – World Update III UK - all 22.7 Gbs of it - downloaded and installed Xbox App updated – account card changed and saved BUT I STILL CANT BUY ANYTHING IN THE SO CALLED MARKETPLACE. Same PURCHASE FAILED message - why am I not surprised. There are a number of time limited offers I would like to purchase but think the 7 day offer cutoff might be a bit ambitious for a fix by a world software giant like Microsoft given we are already 2 months down the road from the first ticket without any result. When I checked the ticket just now it has been closed marked Solved ???
Would anyone like to comment ???
Did you purchase MSFS through Steam or the Windows Store?
Hi Nyx
I purchased through the windows store. - Link to my ticket with all the avenues we have wandered down so far.

Did you run as administrator? Funny thing is: when purchasing you MUST NOT run as admin. Purchase will fail. But when downloading afterwards I have to close the game first and then run as admin, because it otherwise cannot extract the files to the disc. Its a bug.
Thanks for your suggestion - I went to try it out but unfortunately I appear to have downloaded and installed as Administrator and therefore I cannot run from my normal user login as the Sim is not available from that login. Cheers
DMing you!
