I got the same error while installing EpicInstaller-7.7.0-unrealengine .
maybe, permission on selecting FULL CONTROL is not enough for my case.
After trying the solutions from forum, it looks fine by these steps.
(I guess… maybe it’s fine now ?)
-
check if anti-virus/firewall is relevant when people discuss the installation issue.
-
uninstall visual studio and remove Visual C++ Redistributable packages.
-
install another DirectX (dxwebsetup.exe from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=35 )
(this one failed for my desktop: directx_Jun2010_redist.exe https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )
(with error = “module: dxupdate(Jun 2 2010), file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 2046, function: ExecuteInf”… )(maybe I have occurred the error about SOMEDXFILENAME is missing when launching the Launcher. I’m not sure.
I don’t remember the steps to reproduce it.) -
skip installing directX of EpicInstaller Launcher
cmd: from UE4 launcher cant install, fail at Directx install - Rendering - Epic Developer Community Forums
msiexec /i EpicInstaller-7.7.0-unrealengine.msi" SKIP_DIRECTX=“1” -
modify the shortcut: “C:\Program\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe” -SkipBuildPatchPrereq
for Error Code PQR1603
( Skip BuildPatchprereq from Kostenlose Paragon-Inhalte im Wert von 17.000.000 USD - Unreal Engine ) -
Install VS Community 2017 , add windows 8.1 SDK in VS installer
(If I don’t add it, some error shows about windows 8.1 SDK when creating project in UE4) -
Download Unreal Engine from Launcher
-
Try to…
create New Project… select Basic Code, Save, Load, Build.
