OK, I finally got MSFS 2020 to install. In addition to everything else I had done, I uninstalled MSFS via the XBOX app, removed all the folders that remained (empty or not), set security permissions on the destination SSD per a YouTube video, created a different folder for the packages and installed via the XBOX app. This time it sailed through without stopping. Total time a little over 12 hours. This has got to be the worst installation experience ever. There are so many different "fixes" for so many different potential problems that there is really no way to tell what fix you need without trying them all.

Purchased FS2020 a couple of weeks ago and cannot even get the game installed. It gets stuck decompressing at the same place every time. Can't say how many times I have deleted the stuck file and restarted but it's a lot. I have tried a clean boot, run a memory check, reinstalled graphics drivers, disabled ipv6, turned off anti-virus, etc., etc. as suggested in this and many other forums. No joy. It gets stuck on decompressing 260/337 of the initial download every time which is either fs-base-aircraft-icao-0.1.4.fspatch or asobo-material-lib-0.1.39.fspatch. I have let it run for hours (overnight a couple of times) and it will not progress beyond the point of 260 out of 337 on the initial download. Any ideas? I have tried everything I can find online to no avail.
