F28 Install Issue with 2024
-
I had this same issue with the RJ in 2024. The installer completes the install but NO files are in the 2024 Community Folder. The solution was a specific way to start the installer so it allowed you to input the install folder manually. I can't find any notes on how this is done so if you can guide me on how to do this I would be very grateful.

Found the answer in my old RJ support ticket. Just in case someone else has the issue..
Run the installer from the commandline with BROWSE added as a commandline parameterTo run from the commandline the easiest way is to
-
Open a console window (Right-click on the windows Start button and select Command Prompt or type in Command Prompt in the search bar)
-
Drag the setup.exe file on to the console window. This will fill in the command line with the full file path to the installer exe
-
Add a space and then add BROWSE (in caps) then press return/enter
*The installer should now pop up a Select path.. dialog where you can browse to select a custom location.
- Perhaps browse to your download folder. The installer will then install the package to this location.

Hi,
The installer gets its default install location from the entry at the bottom of your UserCfg.opt file found in the root of the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 folder.
It should look something like:
InstalledPackagesPath "C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages"
If yours doesn't point at your packages folder, it would need updating. -
My path is exactly as you stated. Same was true for the RJ when it released for 2024. It installs but I have no idea where because the sim will not see it unless I do the solution I posted that was given to me by Just Flight support. It works but there is something strange with the 2024 installer. My 2024 is a vanilla install, nothing custom.
