@Salvolin Only problem is that I have not been able to confirm exactly which folders are being used during install. The obvious ones are there or course. I set my origin game install root to c:\origin after I found that something was using the old style folder naming, and then excluded in Sophos. Here is my current list of exclusions:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Squadrons\
C:\PROGRA~2\ORIGIN~1\STARWA~1\__INST~1\
C:\origin\
The first two are the same location. Don't know why anything should need to use the DOS file path in Windows 10, but that's what the second line is.
If you take a look at the "STAR WARS Squadrons\__Installer" folder you will find InstallLog.txt which in my case shows DOS file naming begin used.
The above exclusions did not have any effect on the problem for me.

The latest update, with the Mandalorian goodies, arrived.
I disabled Exploit Mitigation which got me past the first update failure, somewhere around the 50% mark.
I disabled Sophos general protection and also Ransomware Protection to get the update to complete.
Don't know if just Exploit Mitigation and Ransomware Protection needed to be disabled.
As always, remember to turn protection back on after getting the update to work.
