Sorry to hear that you have hit an issue. To diagnose the problem we’ll need your installer log. You can do the following to generate one:

  • Place the msi on the root of C drive

  • WindowsKey+R and enter:

  • Enter the following line and replace EpicGamesLauncher.msi with your actual saved msi file name

    msiexec /i C:\EpicGamesLauncher.msi /L*V C:\EpicGamesLauncher.txt

  • Then run the installer until you hit the error. Dismiss the error and close out of the installer.

Once you have the log generated, it up and attach it to the thread and we should be able to provide info on how to get past the issue.

  1. Follow the instructions outlined here:
  2. That should get you to to a point where you can patch the launcher. Let the patch complete.
  3. You may encounter another issue once the patcher tries to install prerequisites. If you do, follow the instructions here:
