Failed to create a project directory

anonymous_user_13cdc697 · May 27, 2020, 3:41pm

I’ve never used unreal engine. Just installed in my windows 10. Tried to launch it and I selected virtual production template with starter content and raytracing on. Hit a create project button, I got a Create Project window popup "Failed to create directory “F\User<USERNAME.\Documents|Unreal Projects est/Content”… Why? Something library is missing? Thanks in advance!

I also having the same problem. When i try to create the project it says, Failed to create directory “F:\MyProject**/Content**”.
I have the admin rights. Any idea about this?

I had same problem. When I looked at the directory path (set by default) there was an additional slash after the drive. I deleted the extra slash and then it worked.
