Haha we're 100% on the same page - I tried those first last night, then the official ones 😛 

Awesome, at least you've done all you can do I reckon. I would probably also, just for good measure, throw in the early DirectX redist; https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

After that, probably best to wait and hear from their support. Does sound like you're not alone.

Actually, updating windows to version 2004 did the trick for me. I used to be on 1901 (I guess).

Good luck to you all!

Hello all,

 

I have been having the same problem and was finally able to fix it!

How to fix it:

Install the English (United states)” language pack under language settings in windows.

 

Hopefully this can help you guys out!

Thanks Lorenz!

I registered with this board especially to let you know that you fixed my (last?) problem with installing FS2020!

Thank you very much for your golden tip!

The only problem that I still seem to have is that my deluxe and premium deluxe packages are still not available in my store.

In the mean time I'll manage with the standard version ;-)

Thanx again!

Thanks, that worked for me.  I have been fighting this "press any key" problem for many hours.

Now I am downloading.

Ok so making this post as a new member as after 2 days of trials and tribulations I finally managed to get the download going. I tried absolutely everything and was getting the ucrtbase.dll crash on the 'Press Any Key' screen

What fixed it for me was essentially not having my wireless keyboard and mouse USB dongle or xbox gamepad attached. I used a remote connection from my laptop to my desktop to install and launch the game with no USB devices other than my wifi attached. It then finally didn't crash and the long 91GB download has begun.

Not saying it is absolutely the reason why it worked but after over 20 download and launch attempts using every other solution I could find online this is what got it going.

Yep, after installing I saw that they were installed as well, even though Windows Store still says that they are not available.
