SWTOR install 'xml configuration corrupt'

[tparker <tparker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trying to Install SWTOR for testing, I could dowload the set up file 
fine, but when I try to run it to get the launcher and start the main 
download, it crashes with a pop up error box saying that 'The xml 
configuration seems to be corrupt.' The only thing in console is 
':fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000180'.

I checked the appdb and did not see this problem discussed and didn't 
find it in a google search, any ideas?
