Re: SWTOR Launcher stuck at Installing 0%

Well, even though that avast is not one of the strongest AV, however I would't remove it completely, deactivating for test should do the trick. 

Sometimes the router is blocking with firewall, I would recommend the router to get new lease, by turning off and around 5 seconds later on again.

Do you have a different pc, laptop for test at home ? Try the download there if possible. 

Otherwise a friend can also copy the folder on an external drive, and it should just update the files with the missing one. (not the recommended version due to system safety, but an option)

    Right now I currently have all shield controls disabled on Avast and attempting the installation again, it is currently still at Installing 0%, also before I uninstalled the game where i had the problem of the launcher being stuck at 97.63% downloading Main Assets 1 it was on the SSN and not BT, what would cause that and is there a solution for it because i've tried multiple times before to restart the launcher and repair it

    From what you've telling here, it appears there is something blocking the download. 

    Did you restart the router? It may sound stupid but it really can effect the download. 

    I would try the following: (keep in mind its an recommendation not a solution)

    Go into the System start and disable all apps there. 

    Agree to the changes made and restart computer. 

    Just start the launcher now and see what happens. 

    As I am not entirely sure what OS you are using but out of the blue try to open as Admin. 

    No solution: enable all necessary apps in the system start again.

    I have not restarted the router, will attempt when i return from work, how long should i reset/restart it for? Also I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 64-bit. "Go into the System start and disable all apps there. Agree to the changes made and restart computer." I'm not too familiar with this option/feature, you may have to walk me through it on Windows 7 Ultimate

    Thanks, but currently the launcher is on BR with ST in the lower corner of the launcher, if I switch back to SSN again i will try the full clean boot and see if it works

    You should be able to do a clean boot with br , the exception would be to leave the bitraider services enabled

    One symptom 0% using BR can also be the bitraider mini support service stub loader isn't started in windows services

    just turn the router/modem off and on , that's all that's needed.

    I added another cause of 0% download with bitraider (BR) below,  offhand if SSN  stopped at 96.83% I would look at the antivirus

    Bitraider is known to stop at a high % , Bitraider is being used when you can see ST on the lower left of the launcher as your images show

    Restart the router once is enough, turn it off and wait i'd say4-5 seconds and turn it on again.

    that should clear the line.

    and I would follow the other steps from Proxos666
