Windows 10: I am unable to install Sea of Thieves because Windows says it is already installed.

I am on the 1903 update and I have Sea of Thieves installed on an External HDD. I was unable to access it because my pc said I needed to install it, and the Microsoft Store said the download was Completed immediately after Pending, but I was unable to play the game because Sea of Thieves needed to be installed, so I tried clearing the WindowsApps folder from my HDD and I still have the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Unable to Install Sea Of Thieves on Solid State Drive

I had Sea of Thieves installed on my harddrive, but the load times were slow so I wanted to switch it to my solid state drive. I took the following steps.

• Uninstalled Sea of Thieves
• Navigated to the microsoft store and selected install
• Selected C: drive (which is my ssd) as the install location
• After completing the download I get the error: "Couldn't install. We'll retry shortly".

I've attempted this twice with no luck. It's a large download so it takes a long time to retry, I'm hoping for an easy resolution to get this installed on my C: drive.

Thank you,

Josh
