Windows 10: Win 10 Version 2004 problems

Hi

I should admit I am an Alpha tester for Microsoft Simulator and I noticed Alpha 5 was released today.
I downloaded it after uninstalling previous Alpha.

When I attempt to run the program I am met with 2 error boxes.
(a) One opens and disappears immediately and I am unable to read the contents.
b) The second advises as follows:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.KHAlpha_1.5.4.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimulator.exe
The specified path does not exist.
Check the path and then try again.

The program exists in the above link. I run the .exe as Administrator. I have even restored an image of C Drive
but the problem still exists. The program was working 2-3 days ago, Basically no other programs installed since
I created the above image on 5th July.
Would appreciate assistance/advice to overcome this problem.

NoteI have never experienced this problem ever in all the many years of using Windows.
This has only ever occurred in the last couple of weeks since Win 10 Ver 2004 was installed and then had a similar problem exactly as noted above but instead of KHAlpha the problem was with
Microsoft.SkypeApp_15.61.100.0_x86__kzf8qxf38zg5c
Solution was to reformat and then reinstall 645gig of data. Lucky I keep backups which in that instance fixed the problem. I don't wan't to continually be doing this to fix a problem that appears with Ver 2004

Problem with 2004 IS0

It does help if you read the replies *Wink I mentioned the 4GB Fat32 limit in post #6

As for getting MCT to run on your machines, I showed in post #6 a screenshot of it running on mine.

In post #18 I suggested troubleshooting steps to get the MCT to run, and if that failed a way to split up an install.wim that's larger than 4GB.

That is a flat out lie, and you know it. MS themselves recommend to NOT force it. This one example from MS. Their words, not mine.

Change of message on Windows Update as regards 2004

I would suggest reading the list of Known Issues.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...indows-10-2004

I was able to force install it in early June, and I tested it for a couple days before rolling back to 1909.

Microsoft apparently has now decided to block force installs.
