Issues with install location and file pathing

Hi there

I’ve installed UE5.4 on my E drive (freshly formatted 1TB), everything in installed there (EGS and UE), the vault cache is set to there, but whej i try and download a project (in this case the animation ecosystem for games) it defaults to my C drive.

When I then try to change the target location to anywhere on my E drive, I get the error “path is taken by an item currently installed”, even into a blank folder. It seems like there should be aj easy fix to this, but I have no clue what - any advice would be appreciated.

hey i’m having that same issue but with downloaded games from my library. It keeps telling me that path is taken by an item currently installed but there is nothing installed from my epic library wondering if u found a solution.

Currently. I am facing this same issue. There is nothing i deleted everything by the name of Epic in my PC, reinstalled everything but still shows a “path is taken”. And when I change the location of installation an error of “II- e1003” comes up. Have you found the solution to this ?. Do let me know please.
