Launcher Issues
Installed fine, when I open up the launcher it says "The Launcher Is Being Updated" and during the update the launcher closes and re-opens automatically 3 times (without the progress bar filling up a...
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.

Hey man, I really appreciate your help. I'm sorry it doesn't keep working and for wasting your time.
I did that. When I start the launcher it runs only as a background process on my computer and nothing actually pops up.
if you are set to non streaming, take the system to a full clean boot per https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows see if any change
I did that and then it installed more things for an hour and gave me a network error. My network is running fine and I was actively using other internet things at the same time. Restarting the launcher fixed the issue for a bit but it happened again and this time it just ran as a background process again. Should I just give up? I don't think I'll ever get it to work and actually be able to play the game. I'm pretty sad, truth be told.
