Hello! I’ve decided to take another shot at Unreal (you can guess why), but I had some problems when trying to install.
First, it took roughly 18 hours to reach the end of the install process. I just assumed this was probably server overload from all the newcomers.
Second problem: BitDefender went off five times during installation:
The file D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.3.egstore\bps\f\M10COC9KBPLSNQ45MT1MV9873I2EHNPF is infected with Gen:Variant.Adware.MAC.OSX.GenieoCA.1 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

Finally, at the end of the process I was informed that the installation failed with this error code: IS-BV02: File Missing or Invalid
Considering all of the files mentioned list MAC.OSX in them and I’m on windows, and it says that it is adware, I assume Bitdefender went off for one of those reasons. However, I am definitely going to check here before attempting to install it again with Bitdefender on pause.
