How to uninstall older version of Epic Games Launcher?

every time I try to install Epic Games Launcher I receive this error message

The program isn’t present in the add/remove programs section of the control panel, I can’t find any evidence that it was ever installed on my hard drive, help?

Hello mxddxgxrm,

If you had an older version of launcher installed and swapped drives (or something similar) then there may still be entries in your registry. Depending on your OS, you may be able to use this tool to remove the old install.

You can also refer to this post for more information.

If this does not work, please reply back and I will continue to look into this for you.

Hello mxddxgxrm,

We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so we are marking this post as Resolved for tracking purposes. If you’re still experiencing this issue, please try the suggestion that I mentioned above then post back here with the requested info.

If you need anything else, feel free to ask.

unfortunately none of that worked for me. I’ve tried right clicking on the installer file and selecting repair or uninstall from the file menu but that just results in this error message

I am really stumped, I’m thinking of just searching regedit for all entries referencing UE launcher and deleting them to see if that works, dunno how long that’d take though. I don’t know what I did but it’s kind of amazing how much I’ve managed to break this installation.

Hello again!

Could you please follow the steps here to generate your installer logs?

Also, could you please attach your dxdiag so that we can see your system specs?

Thanks!
