    MSFS 2020 - Error Code 0x87E00017 upon attempt to install


    Hello everyone.

    I went to launch Microsoft Flight Simulator about a week ago, and upon getting to the main menu, was told that I needed to update the game. I closed the game, went to the Microsoft Store, and hit update. I was then hit with an error message. It was a general
    error, and as a troubleshooting step I decided to just do a fresh install. As it happened, I need to install the game to a different hard drive then where it initially was. When I attempt to reinstall the game I get a message with the error code 0x87E00017,
    and it just says "Something Unexpected Happened". I cannot figure out what happened or how to resolve it. I have ran the WSReset command, I have updated Windows to the newest release, I even tried to do a repair install, although that didn't work because the
    install media on the Windows 10 download page is older than the current version I have installed. I am just trying to resolve this issue. Other games and apps install and update perfectly fine, it just seems to be Flight Simulator.

    :)

    Problem with Xbox Gamingservices and MSFS 2020 on PC windows 10

    Thank you for your reply! Unfortunatler none of the actions works. I uninstalled MSFS 2020 and even formatted the disc it was installed on.

    The problem now is that both MSFS 2020 and Xbox Gameservices in Microsoft Store are marked with error and requires new download/ update which are also marked with error message as soon as I try to do anything.

    No matter what ever I have tried so far ( Windows Store repair, Windows Store repair and components update, among others plus reinstalling Xbox app) I am still not able to install MSFS again.

    Maybe the only solution is to reinstall Windows?

    moving away from steam

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good night

    First you need to uninstall the game through steam, and then install it from the microsoft store.

    If you have already made the purchase through the microsoft store, confirm here:

    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/
    I tried the following

    Here are the steps I followed

    1. Remove MSFS 2020 from steam

    2. Delete the steam account on the steam web page

    3. Uninstall steam on my PC

    4. Go to MSFS store and buy MSFS 2020

    5. Install MSFS 2020

    6. Launch by double clicking the application.

    -- When I did this I got an error about this gamertag already connected to some other or something like that. ---

    Did I miss something?
