Stellaris Pc Xbox

Stellaris won't launch from Xbox App Services. As far as I can tell the issue seems to be tied to the Launcher-Installer-Windows. It just aborts. forum.paradoxplaza.com  

I've fixed my installation by uninstalling the game from the previous default location c:\program files\windowsapps\ , and installing it under one of the the offered options D:\Xbox Apps\ (I'm pretty sure C:\XboxGames would work too). Most likely the launcher has an issue accessing c:\program files\windowsapps\ , which MS do lock down pretty hard, and I guess they've learned that lesson and moved the games to somewhere accessible by normal users.

Although why only this game seemed to be affected I have no idea.
