"Fatal Error" message appears when installing

★★★ Newbie

I've tried installing the game 4 or 5 times now and every time I get the same message popping up:

 

"Fatal Error: Installation of the driver and support components require administrative permission acknowledgement. Try invoking the client again. Installer cannot continue. Exiting." 

 

This is really strange to me because not only am I running the launcher as administrator every time, I have also installed and played SWTOR on this PC with no issue in the past. Any help would be appreciated.

 

PS: I have attached a screencap of the error message for anyone who wants to see

  1.  create a folder where you want the game installed
  2. grab the repair utility from this link and extract the files into that folder
  3. make a desktop shortcut for launcher.exe 
  4. start the launcher with the shortcut

Let me know if that sorts it fully

Should I put the shortcut in the folder I created?

The shortcut is meant to be a desktop shortcut Standard smile

No the idea is that the launcher repair utility is run (double click on it) in that folder it will extract all the game files into that folder

 

Then there will be a launcher.exe that you create a desktop shortcut for

 

Edit - Make the folder though where you want to game installed like c:\swtor for example . this looks like you created the swtor folder on the desktop
