I have a UE4 subscription and i can’t install it. I download the last epicgameslauncherinstaller.msi but the launch0er installed doesn’t launch anything. Any process or executable is running. And the launcher installation is very faster and it looks like he don’t install all the necessaries archives… Please help me, i’m in a academic project!!! And sorry about my english, i’m spanish. Thankslink text

Hi TJ  
I followed the steps and the launcher still installing it incompleted. But my issue it’s looks more likely to be this: The Launcher fails to load, or crashes on load. Because the laucher is installed but it doesn’t loads and it doesn’t open any process on the computer. It’s impossible to execute it.  
I followed the last ten steps and there isn´t any “DefaultEngine.ini” file on the location that it’s there especificated.  
Here is the results of the last steps that i follow and the attachment of the “Logs” folder:

Hi humorars,  
It seems you’re getting a rendering crash. Looking at your DxDiag it looks like your graphics card does not meet our minimum specs.
