    How to find Microsoft Flight Simulator DVD Installation-Software Launcher in Windows 11


    Hello Folks,

    I am writing this post for all those who have run the DVD installation procedure and accidentally lost the mystic "software launcher".

    Brief explanation: After I had installed all the DVDs, the next installation window (from the Microsoft store) gave me the option to continue with installation or to "Speicherplatz freigeben" ("release storage space" as freely translated). Since I was curious about what it means, I clicked on it and then - closed the window because I found it not applicable in my case.

    Problem: the installation window was completely gone and it took me hours to find it again.

    There is no such name to be found "software launcher" in the store. Since I installed the german version, you will find german words in here as well.

    The solution in my case was:

    1. when in the Microsoft store, click on "library" in the lower left corner of the app window.

    2. Click on "Games" or "Spiele" to list all games.

    3. BEFORE clicking on the famous "get all updates" or "Updates abrufen"-Button (upper right side), check the button "sort & filter"(or "sort by...") or ("Sortieren und Filtern"). It is on the right side of the store window above the list of all games.

    4. Here you have to make sure to uncheck "show only installed products" ("Nur installierte Produkte anzeigen")

    If you are using the english language in windows it may be labeled differently (just think of making it show all products, including not yet installed ones).

    Once you check that option, you will also see the desired program parts yet to download!

    :)

    I loaded upgrades and now there is no yellow fly button.

    It sounds like your son may have purchased and downloaded the Flight Simulator software digitally, rather than on physical disks. To reinstall the program, you will need to locate the original source where it was downloaded from and redownload the software. If your son purchased the software, he should have the information on where and how it was downloaded.

    If the Flight Simulator software was purchased on the Microsoft Store, you should be able to reinstall it by following these steps:

    Open the Microsoft Store app on your computer.

    Click on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner of the window to open the menu.

    Select "My Library" from the menu.

    Locate Flight Simulator in your library and click on it.

    Click the "Install" button to begin the reinstallation process.

    If you're having trouble finding the software in your library, you may need to sign in with the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the software. If your son purchased it, he may have to give you the credentials to access it.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator stuck on Please Wait...

    https://steamah.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-fix-for-stuck-on-please-wait-3-68gib-remaining/

    For me this worked, it was pretty much because the launcher wasn't able to decompress some files correctly. navigate
    your way to your roaming file (%appdata%), find your way to Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Official\Steam, delete all files that are not folders (for me I had like 6 packages at the bottom of my listing that were files not folders), then rerun the launcher
    and it should correctly install them.

    Hope this helps! Good luck

    Installing Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Thank you

    I have uninstalled and then re-installed. Obviously I can't then redeem the code again as it is already redeemed and linked to my account.

    As I cannot redeem the code a second time it does not want to then go on and install the microsoft flight simulator software launcher.

    Is there a way to do this manually?

    Thanks again,

    Kevin

    GAME UPDATE (NOT) AVAILABLE - Flight Simulator

    Usual useless answer. Make sure that updates are installed, make sure your anti-virus is up-to-date. These are bad excuses for non working software. Even when "all WIndows updates are installed" (how could they not? you can't stop them from installing!) nothing works.

    I've lost my money in Flight Simulator, but I'll not loose it twice: today both Flight Simulator AND the underlying OS will be removed...
