I can't Install the ue4 launcher, it fails to load

Hi,

I’m trying to install the UE4 launcher but it keeps hanging when run normally or pops up with an error of “This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and you can open it, or contact the application vendor…”.

I’ve followed numerous steps in trying to resolve this issue including post from this forum.

I’ve tried these steps

as well as other steps more general to the MSI installer for windows.

I have also generated the log file from trying to install and it read as follows.
