Fatal Error 6

After fighting for three days to get the patcher to install ESO on my second drive because the Morrowind patch and PTS will not fit on my 128Ggb steady state drive I am getting fatal error 6 faults as soon as the screen turns black. This is the error information it is giving. I reformatted my D: drive before installing ESO on it.

I have done everything that the customer support page suggest here: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2421

I have also looked at other forum post and nothing is working...really need ZOS help please.

After getting error verifying process hangs up at 16% screenshot supplied.

    4.Open the Game Options dropdown menu and click on the option for Repair.
    5.Allow the launcher to examine all the files for the game. This may take some time.
    6.If any files are found to have problems, the launcher will re-download those files.

    I have performed these task in addition to running every thing I do as administrator. I have also removed and reinstalled Nvadia GeForce Exp and it give unable to find game setting error. It tells me to start game to correct this issue, which of course I can not. I also have done all of the requirements you are asking with no fire wall or virus protection up. Still getting fatal error 6 and hanging up at 16% on the repair function.
