Starship 2024 installer not launching past initial screen

[AstroBriggs]

Same results for msfs 2024 for me as well

Please note that this is a large EXE installer and therefore there will be a delay before the installer window pops up. If it doesn't happen after a minute or two then please contact the support team.

Same results for msfs 2024, installer not working as intended even with Rev A

We are in the process of uploading ZIP versions of the installers as alternatives for those of you having issues with the running of the EXE installers. Note that is a separate issue to the one already fixed with activation.

The MSFS 2020 installer works for me (it appears a process called FindPkgs runs along side of it), but the MSFS 2024 installer hangs per the original post. Both installers are of the 'a' variant.

I have the same issue as @Outermarker - 'a' update did not fix it. The initial InstallShield window opens immediately, then it backgrounds itself and chewing up 7% CPU with no disk or network activity. It's like this for minutes. This after a reboot.

I'll open a ticket if it doesn't do something within 30 minutes.

Edit: the zip file does not fix it.
Edit: for giggles, I turned off my firewall. No change.

Confirming that the 'a' install did indeed fix my 404 error. Big thanks!

[Avionic]

[sternn]

its a zip file that has an installer in it.... When the installer is already not working.... sigh

[ysaf]

Zip file installer is not responding either

[Jerrfyloob]

Can confirm, zip file is broken too

[Avionic]

.Zip file starts the same InstallScript Setup Launcher titled BlackSquare Starship MSFS 2024 that fails to go anywhere.

[AstroBriggs]

[Jabba87]

The Zip did not solve the issue. Any other ideas?

[mari8it]

[GravenHusky]

Same here. Installer is using CPU but it's not showing anything.
