In the mess of an upgrade process, I had to uninstall MSFS and then reinstall to get the update. I had previously installed to an SSD folder, E:\MyMSFS\, since it's the same SSD that I have P3D installed on. But now trying to install either from the XBOX APP or the Store the only options to install are to pick a drive, no way to specify a folder. Is there some way to do that? Otherwise, I must uninstall pretty much everything and figure out a way to keep folders separate for my benefit.

This process is a horrendous MESS!

Please tell me there is a way!

Are you confusing the initial install with the data install that comes later?

The data install is the first screen that comes up (called "Installation Manager") after starting MSFS for the first time after installing it from the store (or XBox app). That is where you should be able to set the full path you wish to use.

yep   as  the  above poster  has  said  bought it  from  steam   and  the  initial  install i had  no  choice of  where  i want  it  to install  but  when i  ran  the  exe  to  run  msfs   it  than  asked  me  where  i  would  like  to install  it  where  i made  a  folder  on my  third  drive  

That was my problem, thanks! I did read the release notes, but it wasn't very clear, and I didn't remember having that initial install the first time I installed. Anyway, all good now thanks for the help!
