Windows 10: microsoft light simulator failed installation

I have just purchased and 'installed' Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Deluxe. It claims to have installed but when I Run it I get the Asobo screen etc and eventually a picture of the Thames at Greenwich, following which it closes down. I believe it has not installed correctly.
