Microsoft flight simulator 2020 wont install, anyone else with this issue?

Install fails and will not continue download past a point, then fails

 

I have a windows x64 computer , most up to date w64 ,with no virus software and no firewall and i am unable to install microsoft flight simulator from the microsoft store. It wont install . I cant get help from microsoft , they are not helpful Every time I  try to download it , the program fails to install. Microsoft took my money with no problem  but wont provide any assistance. My computer is straight forward and clean and has no virus scanner or  roadblocks

I have tried everything  I can think of but the install simply fails and quits.

This is just so frustrating

please , anyone here with ideas  or seen this before

Are you signed into your Microsoft account ? It won't install unless you are signed in. I had that issue.
