You can try installing the game from the Xbox app or Microsoft store app directly by looking for Minecraft for windows instead of Minecraft launcher, you will need to install it on the same path than the launcher

Please, log in the Xbox app and look for Minecraft, not the launcher, just Minecraft for windows 10, then hit install on it, select the same drive that the Minecraft launcher installation.

What you don't have it's the Minecraft launcher license, the launcher and the game are separate, you need to go to the Microsoft store app and look for the launcher next to the play button you will have the option to get it, press on it, it's free
