Well who knew this was gonna happen. The first install went fine. There were some bugs in the game so I figured I'd just uninstall and reinstall like you should be able to with a well written game. Now I'm nowhere and have tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling the OS. No luck. When I hit the Update button to install the 91gb update it says "Please wait...", which flickers at a fast rate, and nothing happens no matter how long I leave it. I'm really pissed off about this. I don't know what to try next.

Installer installs the first smaller part but when I launch the game and it checks for updates it prompts me to install the rest of the 91 GB of files. When I hit the Update button the progress bar says "Please wait" and it flickers as though it's going to start the download but it never does no matter how long I wait. Be advised that I had previously downloaded and installed the complete game with no issues but uninstalled it (apparently by just right clicking on the game in the start menu and hitting the Uninstall button) and this situation happened when I attempted to reinstall it. I installed a new video card and wasn't anticipating this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated please.

If you want to uninstall the game for whatever reason how do you do it? The only thing listed in Add/Remove Programs appears to just be the initial installer. Also - is there a config file somewhere to tweak things like there is in FSX?

That was exactly my install experience.

Where would I find the installer files? I pre-ordered from my laptop (not where the sim will be installed) and just got a receipt for the payment and a confirmation along with an order # both via email. Disregard. I found them. I was able to partially install some files and then when I hit Play it said I was too early to finish the install. I'll wait until midnight tonight and try again. Thanks.

I pre-ordered the Standard version. When it is released at midnight tonight will MS automatically email me a download link at midnight? If not how do I go about getting it? I also read that those who pre-ordered can download 180 mb of the sim ahead of time and then install the rest after it is officially released. Is that true? TIA.
