So I installed epic games launcher and go to run it in order to install the unreal engine but all I get is an error "Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.

Any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated as I need this software for uni!

Many thanks,

Ed
