Why can't I launch X Plane 11?

Question

I have spent most of the day downloading this and when i finally got to launch it, a message popped up about the tutorial mission being empty. From reading the instructions I know a tutorial should play on the first launch but I don't understand what has gone wrong, I have put all of the disks in as asked.

Hi, run the installer again to update X-plane. There are probably missing files that will be downloaded on the second attemps.

 Laminar Research advises to run a light install first, with no scenery selected in blue on the world map. For next time..

But wait.. Is it a digital download or a disk version you have?
