Error Code R-5 Cannot be fixed. Help?

So after installing UE4 and running into the Error Code R-5, I uninstalled the suggested Visual C++ 2015 Redistributables (Both 86 and 64-bit) and even uninstalled the Epic Games Launcher. Nothing worked.

Even after rebooting, deleting the Epic Games folder that I first time installed into, still hasn’t fixed the R-5 error code. First time around I installed on my secondary HDD, but then tried my Primary (OS) HDD, and that also changed nothing.

Here is a screenshot if the error.

I honestly shouldn’t have to do a OS reinstalled (current install is not very old anyways) just to get a Game Engine working. I can install all other programs (and just the Base Epic Launcher) with no problems, but I can’t use the actual UE4 engine because it’s gets to the very end of the “Verifying” phase of the engine install and then throws this error up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So in a total “WTF?!” moment. The problem worked itself out. I spent a whole afternoon trying to get it to work with multiple uninstalls and computer reboots, but nothing worked.

However I installed the newly released engine build and then the previous one (that I couldn’t get to work) and the problem seems to be gone. I don’t have a clue why.

Maybe installing the new engine version fixed whatever was causing the problem. I don’t know.
