[Pre Game editor from ms store will not work]

It's amazing that literally every person using the MS store version can't get the editor to open, except for the dev team.

[Pre Game editor from ms store will not work]

Fyi, I completely reinstalled windows 10 back to default settings, deleted all files.

Installed FM 22 to the default in the Xbox PC app (c:\XboxGames).

Opened the game all the way and closed it.

Downloaded FM 22 editor from the MS store. Auto installs on the C: drive. No other drives in the laptop. 

Tried to open the editor. Get a brief flash of black and then nothing opens. Process pops up for a split second before closing.

Exact same thing as before, except with a completely fresh Windows install.

It has something to do with the game not installing into wherever the editor wants it, so the editor can't find it. 

I tried changing my default install location in the Xbox app to the ModifiableWindowsApp folder in Program Files, but it won't let me. My guess is that's where the editor expects it to be.

I've also tried copying the FM 22 folder into that folder, but you can't copy .exe files into that folder. You can move them, but then you get .dll errors I assume are related to DRM.

I guess SI can't be bothered to just make it an option to select the location of your FM install.

But, according to SI, posting about a bug in the pregame editor in the pregame editor bug tracker is the wrong place to post about a bug, so no wonder they can't be bothered to make obvious changes.

Error message in warnings-and-errors.txt:

It then says "Ordinal0(0)" 8 times, "configurethreadlocale(0)", "BaseThreadInitThunk(0)", "RtlUserThreadStart(0)"

Same issue, windows store version. On the latest Xbox app update, it automatically moved all my games to a different location on the C drive. I literally don't have another drive to confuse the editor. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling and deleting cashes for FM and the editor without any luck.

On game pass verson and I can't get the editor to open. It flickers for a second then shuts down.

My Xbox app default installs the game to "C:\XboxGames" and I assume the editor can't see the game there.
