Fatal Error During Installation (SWTOR)

I'm a returning player to SWTOR and I'm having a major issue installing the game onto a Windows 10 64-bit PC. I've tried compatibility mode for Windows 7 (doesn't even get two seconds in before the error), running as an admin (will go for about an hour then error), compatibility troubleshooter (does next to nothing), etc, but I'm always getting the same error message:

Fatal Error

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

I'm running out of ideas here. This is my home PC, I am the administrator. Besides the prompt for the launcher, I get no pop-ups asking permission to install anything.

As stated before, I'm running Windows 10 64-bit.

Worked for me aswell, thank you for the tip.
Still can't understand why "streaming" luncher is the basic one and not the normal one though.
But I guess thats a story for another day (discussion for another topic...)

@proxos666 I made space for the Game and it worked out again. The Failure warnings are misleading it seems. Thx for the Help!

In the file where i located my game i did not find anything called launcher.settings, i have the same problem as the others had.
The only files to get in were Bitraider, EULAs, locales, logs, patch and readmes, but in that files i also did find not anything called launcher.settings.

@Pr0udiii

it will be the file called launcher with the notepad symbol , the file itself is launch.settings as notepad must be associated with .settings you see the file as just launcher
