Have you tried doing it from the Windows Store directly, rather than using the xbox app?

I just went through this and plan to provide some feedback but this appears to be related to the Gaming Services App that gets installed either via a Windows Store update or when you initially launch the XBox App. (Blue banner at the bottom).
To resolve:

  1. Open PowerShell as an admin/ elevated
  2. Run the following to remove the Gaming Services app
    Get-AppxPackage gaming.services -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers
  3. Open the XBox App and then try to install Flight Sim 2020
    (Do NOT click the request to add component if you see the blue banner)

So i ended up giving all the profiles on my computer full access controls and it worked. For some reason my user profile didnt have full control of my C drive and it worked once given full control… weird issue.
