My swtor not Install

Got an even worse problem - downloading the installer ain't done [blank] for me. Just does its "extract files" thing and goes no further.

This is even using the built-in system compatibility bypass method (right-click>troubleshoot compatibility>set for Windows 7 with additional permissions>test>save>finish). Save/finish, of course, is only in case [blank] happens and a complete do-over is needed (or if uninstall/reinstall comes into play). Not even sure if this is a viable option anyway (because hacks and freaks, plus it makes a mockery out of many other mmo launchers anyway necessitating a rollback once the install is done without additional epic fail), bit I ran it through compatibility (by manually setting my preferences in file>properties>compatibility>admin>Windows7>apply>ok. I'll check against Webroot just to be safe (because security also makes a mockery of many other games as well, even by false-positives or a disturbance in the Force*) Aside from that I have no idea what else to do about installer issues.

EDITED 12/10/2017 08:30 CST to reflect the most successful approach to dealing with this problem.

EDIT 02 12/10/2017 08:44 CST to report that compatibility bypass doesn't carry over when the install is done, so aside from any possible false-flag issues with your system security (or any other disturbance in the Force) you should be in the clear after the sneaky business part is done and over with.
