is this Gabe’s curse to Epic game? Tim joking around lead to this? aarrghhhhhh
now i cannot continue dveloping my game as i reinstall my windows and i need that plugin to work…
Hi everyone. I don’t speak English so I’m using a translator. Please excuse any errors… I want to share the solution I found. My computer is Windows 11. Simply closing the Epic Games Launcher didn’t work because I discovered that some processes were still running in the background. So I closed it normally and then opened the Windows Task Manager, went to the Processes tab and ended all processes that started with “Epic”. Only after that did I open it as administrator and that way I was able to install the plugin I purchased.

The team is investigating. We’ll provide an update as soon as we have one.

As @SuperTheus mentioned, make sure you’re ending the Epic Online Services Main Service (might be two running) and any other Epic processes running in the Task Manager. Restart the Epic Launcher as admin. Sign-out / Sign-in with your credentials to re-authenticate everything.
I tried that.
I killed all “Epic” tasks in the task manager.
Ran the Epic Launcher as Admin.

No joy.
You might want to try deleting relevant files in your epic vault cache and fab library cache. In my case, I completely cleared both caches, and I was finally able to update the Black Eye Camera plugin.

THANK YOU!
Deleting the Fab Library Cache worked for me.
where is that located?
I found it in “Download Settings” which can be found by clicking through “Downloads” in the left nav of Epic Launcher. It has a “Reset” button. And show the path of your cache under “Advance” → “Fab Library Data Cache Directory”. My Windows 11 path is “C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\VaultCache”.
The Reset button didn’t seem to fix anything for me.
But deleting the contents of that VaultCache folder did fix it for me. (I only had “FabLibrary” folder in that VaultCache directory.)
I then was able to install PaperZD to Unreal Engine 5.7.4
I did not need to run it as Administrator.
I uninstalled Epic Game Launcher and re-installed it. That fixed the problem.
