Epic Games launcher won't install - Error with Prerequisites installation

So I downloaded the Epic games launcher and installed it. When I try to run it, It runs the update and says failed to install prerequisites.

I tried to run the pre-requisites installer separately and got a fatal error. The logs are attached.

I have used the earlier versions of unreal without a problem, and now it’s all over the place. I even updated windows 8.1 with all the latest updates. Didn’t help.

Uninstalled all VS 2015 and 2013 redistributables. didn’t help.

Would really appreciate some help!
