The integrity scan that the Launcher does is seen as suspicious activity by Windows 10 and so it will always fail if the Launcher and game files are on different drives - giving the Launcher Admin rights will not change this. Windows User Account Control will not let any program installed to one physical location scan files on another drive if it is not a recognised anti-virus. If you choose the default path - C:/Program Files/Roberts Space Industries/ - then you will see that inside that folder are two folders called 'RSI Launcher' and 'StarCitizen'. The Launcher Install folder path and game files install path both have to be in the same directory on the same physical drive.
