When installing certain games on the Xbox Game Pass PC Beta app I seem to be getting Error code: 0x80073d13, Games will download to about 4.5%-9% then come up with the error.
Trying to install Metro, Wolfenstein, We Happy Few, Imperator: Rome and probably others I have not yet tried will give me this error.
I really hope this is not similar to the Microsoft Store error that does not allow certain games/programs to be installed on other drives besides C: which I don't think it is cause Halo Wars 1 seems to be giving me a different error code that I think is the disk drive error but I am not sure but It would really suck to have a bunch of games you can't install and we can't decide on a game-by-game basis yet so say I had just enough space for Metro on my C: drive but not enough to include another game from my other drive I can't specify that (atleast I think) it would all have to be on the same drive.
Update: That seems to be what the error is, must be installed on your main C: drive, when I disconnect my external drive Xbox app will auto download Metro directly to my C: drive

I am also having this problem. I changed my install location to C: drive, and downloads began as I would expect. This isn't really a good solution because my C: drive is a small SSD, meant to hold the operating system and apps, but not much else. I like to store my games on my additional internal hard drives, like anyone else. They need to fix this.
So the problem seems to be that the default drive for new apps is not the main Windows drive. Changing it to the default drive (i.e. C:) resolves the issue.
But for larger games this isn't really a solution. Hopefully Microsoft fixes this.
canceling game pass subscription right away.
c drive only, not my cup of tea.
