johnyyz Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I have now tried to install MSFS 6 times and it keeps getting hung up in a loop trying to decompress folders. I have tried everything i could find on the internet with no luck including reformatting the SSD the flightsimulator is on. Anyone else have this issue that they have been able to resolve ?

plainsman Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I have been running this program for 11 months without issue. Try removing your joystick and pedals during installation.
