Update:
FATAL:
The default installation of MSFS-2024 completely overwrites a pre-existing MSFS-2020 installation resulting in the following dialog when you try to run MSFS-2020:
I suspect that this means I have to uninstall MSFS-2024 and 2020, and then completely reinstall everything from scratch!
Massive bummer.
Further Update:
Now I cannot launch or re-install either one. The sprinkles on top of the whipped-cream on top of the icing on the cake is that now even System Restore is thoroughly borked.
I am going to try “The Dynamic Duo” of dism
and sfc
to see if they help either the installation process or System Restore.
If that doesn’t work I may have no choice but to reinstall a backup and/or a bare-metal reinstall of the OS.
