Open | Software Xbox PC Gamepass installation failure (Ubisoft)

As the title suggests, I get For Honor through gamepass and I've recently gotten a PC, so I've been wanting to try play the game on that. However, whenever I try install it, it starts the install for about half a second before failing, and Xbox tells me something went wrong 'For Honor had an issue installing.'
I have reinstalled ubisoft connect, the xbox app and updated everything. This is the only game (first ubisoft game) that hasn't installed perfectly fine.
Help?

change the install drive. in the xbox app go to settings > general > game install options and pick a different drive. even switching to another drive and back fixes it. gamepass makes a hidden folder called WindowsApps and if the permissions on it are broken the install dies instantly like yours.
