    Forza Horizon 5 installation issues


    Hi,

    I have error 0x00000001 when downloading Forza Horizon 5 from the Xbox App.

    Here is my story:

    I tried to play Forza Horizon 5, it normally runs quite smoothly.

    However, this time (July 5th 2022) I suddenly got error code: 0x80004005 about 1 second after the game launcher checks for updates.

    So I thought, maybe this is an issue with the Microsoft Store?

    Reset Microsoft Store, Gaming Services, and all Xbox related services -> No result.

    Maybe this is an issue with Forza Horizon 5 itself?

    Reset Forza Horizon 5.

    Then the game "sort of" uninstalls itself:

    The game icon still appears in the start menu, but I cannot remove it no matter what I try: Revo Uninstaller, Powershell, Command Prompt, Regedit, manually going through the files.

    Tried to left-click it: nothing happens.

    Tried to locate it in Apps and Settings: it crashes the Settings menu.

    Tried to uninstall it: it fails and crashes Microsoft store.

    Tried to find it through Reviews in the Start menu: it guides me to Forza Horizon 5 in the Microsoft Store, which tells me to go to Xbox for Forza Horizon 5, which leads to my 0x00000001 error loop.

    Note: The game disappears from Apps and Settings, but if I try to locate it specifically it crashes the Settings menu.

    There is no trace of the game in my computer files - it literally takes no space.

    There is no trace of the game in any of my file editor and manager programs - which is quite odd, because I can find and delete viruses, spyware, and trojans quite easily with my setup.

    Resetting Microsoft Store, Gaming Services, and Xbox does nothing.

    I seem to have all my save data on Forza Horizon 5 in the Xbox App, but I think the data is server-sided.

    When I start a download of Forza Horizon 5 through the Xbox App, error 0x00000001 appears after 1 second - not a single byte is downloaded. It seems to download a 28 Byte file called .GamingRoot, that probably helps redirect operations to the download site.

    In the past, when I reset Forza Horizon 4, the game just wipes the save off my computer, and I can then play the game normally after a few minutes of syncing saves.

    When I reset Forza Motorsport 7, the game self-repairs for a few minutes, and then I can play the game normally.

    :)

    Forza Horizon 5 gets stuck on preparing and then cancles - Windows 11

    This is what helped me and got Forza to download.
    1. Go into the Microsoft Store and search Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition.
    2. Next you want to click on Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition and you want to click Install from the Xbox app.
    3. This will take you to the Xbox app and when it takes you to the Forza game scroll down and look at the tab named "Included in this bundle" And click Forza Horizon 5.
    4. This should take you to the regular Forza Horizon 5 game rather than the Standard Edition, And then you want to click install and this should download the game.

    Hope this helps have a good day!

    Unable to download Forza Horizon 5 on PC from the Xbox Game App

    Hello Thundershock, my name is zahir

    The game download app includes Microsoft Store, Xbox app, and Steam. If you encounter the Forza Horizon 5 not installing/downloading issue, you can troubleshoot these game download apps through the following ways:

    Log out of these apps and then log in again.

    Restart these apps.

    Reset the Microsoft Store cache.

    Repair, reset, or reinstall these apps.

    If you are using Microsoft Store to download Forza Horizon 5, the Forza Horizon 5 not installing/downloading issue may be caused by corrupt caches. You can reset the Microsoft Store cache to solve the problem. Here is the guide:

    Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

    Type “wsreset.exe” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to reset the Windows Store cache.

    Then, you can download and install the game again. If the above steps don’t work, you can try deleting the cache folder to solve the Forza Horizon 5 not installing/downloading issue. Here is the guide:

    Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to this path: C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Packages \Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.

    Right-click on LocalCache and choose Delete from the context menu.

    After that, try downloading and installing Forza Horizon 5 again to see whether the issue is solved

    I hope this helps
