Hello @Mugz

Have you tried downloading the installer again, but with a different browser and/or on a different computer?

Regards,
Boris

I got a similar error downloading the SDK 0.21 (cab1.cab was corrupt). Tried different browsers (edge, chrome, firefox) with or without MSFS running.

Chrome started downloading fast then at some 20% rate dropped to some KB/s below ten and remained there. Took ages to finish and the download failed several times. My internet connection is/was pretty good, could stream Netflix and several Youtube videos the same time in highest quality (tried it after one of the downloads failed)

Servers were operational all the time.

Same with firefox. Edge couldn't even open the download page on first try.

I finally managed to install the lasted SDK version by using a dropbox link someone put on the official MSFS forum
