I tried to re-install the game but it doesn't install. When I run the installer it just says "Installation Failed!". I can't even access the launcher now. And I've tried this with the original installer and then a new one I just downloaded.

  if you mean the setup file try the below instead
  
  create a folder where you want the game installed
  
  grab the repair utility from this link and extract the files into that folder
  
  make a desktop shortcut for launcher.exe
  
  start the launcher with the shortcut
  
  See if this gets you sorted

    I did all those things, and it installed for an hour before saying "Installation of the driver and support components require administration permission acknowledgment. Try invoking the client again. Installer cannot continue. Exiting.". I already created exceptions for swtor.exe and launcher.exe in windows defender and I used the launcher repair utility.
    
    edit: The first download went through, the "required" one. Another update began but when I tried to start the game it exited the launcher and the game did not run. Sometimes it ran as a background process (still not playable) and sometimes it didn't run at all.
