It’s probably due to failure of DirectX installation.

Please run the installer with SKIP_DIRECTX="1" key.

msiexec /i "C:\UnrealEngineInstaller.msi" SKIP_DIRECTX="1"

Ofc use the proper path to installer instead of C:\UnrealEngineInstaller.msi

Now It Says On The Epic Games Launcher “Self Update Failed” “The necessary prerequisites have failed to install. Please contact support.” “Error code: SU-PQR1603”

Thank you very much S-ed ! Your fix corrected my problem.

My problem was when I tried to install the Epic Games Launcher I was receiving this error message: There is a problem with the Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Am curious to know what was the Direct X component in the installer that was to blame, and why? Thanks!

I had the same error, so it is possible that the current version of the epic games launcher just has a bug since i have all prerequisites installed correctly and just wanted to reinstall the launcher.
