So I just got the launcher installed in my laptop but, when i hit install game in the bottom and once it finishes loading to 100%, it says that it had an error and it says that the error was: Permission Denied. So I went ahead and added it to the list that can go through the firewall but it still ends up with the same error. What else is not giving the game permission to install?

Sounds like a file permissions problem. Try installing to a different location.

Try temporary disabling firewall and see if it helps.
