I have also rebooted multiple times and tried disabling my antivirus/antimalware programs.

I would reach out to Xbox Live / Microsoft Support on this one OP, they’re be able to help you out with issues like that:

As a last note, please don’t post multiple times in a row. You can edit your last post if you need to add more info :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply. I got it working - turns out that the error shows only when I choose any of my external harddrives for the install. When I finally chose C: drive (against my preference) it started downloading.

See you in-game!
