I uninstalled Unreal Engine 4 and now I can't re-install it.

So like everyone else some of my UE4 project wouldn’t open so before finding out this was a common problem that had solutions, I uninstalled UE4 with the intention of a clean re-install instead of verifying it’s files, because verifying takes too long in my experience.

The problem is I can’t re-install it anymore.

I’m worried I messed up big time here, no telling how long it’ll be before Epic fixes this problem.

PLEASE tell me what to do if you already dealt with this.

For anyone who comes across this issue in the future, I solved it by deleting everything in the Epic Games folder, and installing an older version of the Epic Launcher from here:

https://epic-games-launcher.en.softonic.com/versions

It’ll prompt you to download the update when you open the launcher, it’s ok, let it do that, you can refuse to actually install the update later.

Thanks to this, everything works now.
