FSUIPC7.5.3 MSFS2020 did not install

[danewatson]

I just installed FSUIPC7.5.3 and it removed MSFS2020 as well as MSFS2024 but only reinstalled MSFS24 (MSFS2020 did not reinstall), there was no option to choose one or both.

Then MSFS2020 was not detected.

Please show me / attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log file. You should ALWAYS attach this if you have installation issues.

Here is the log file...

John, I have now resolved my issue - not sure how my 2020 file got corrupted but I reinstalled it and reinstalled FSUIPC7 and everything is back to normal.

Ok, thanks for the update. Your install log did show that it did not detect your MSFS2020 installation:

Determing Community folder for MS Store install for MSFS2020
**** Cannot determine location of UserCfg.opt for MSFS2020 MS Store installation ****

The installer looks for the UserCfg.opt file for each MSFS version to determine if it is installed or not, which should be in a specific location for both Steam and MS Store versions. If this file can't be found, it won't detect that version.

It is strange that the UserCfg.opt file for MSFS2020 was removed though...
