Hello, today, i tried to install UE4.21 and each and every single time, i always get a darn MD-dl error and it doesn’t download at all. I have tried older versions too just to do this. My computer specs are below:
Windows 10 Home
Inspiron 3551
X64-based PC
Intel Celeron CpU N2840
BTW: i don’t think it is matter of whether my computer has enough memory or processing power as it doesn’t even download at all.
I’m gonna make a new user and try to install 4.19.2 on it which worked for my windows 7 laptop.
It did not work!

same problem here, did you solve it ( i saw your post is from 18’ )? i read in other posts that when you are in the option menu you have to wait until epic games end to process the “memory space”… but for me didin’t work at all. do you have anything to suggest to me ? thx
Same error. I tried to update 4.22.1 to 4.22.2 but it kept giving me this error. So I tried reinstalling the whole thing and I got the same error. Their “knowledge base” has nothing on this error(MD-DL) and I can’t find any other information about this issue.
Any pointers on how to solve this problem?
I am facing the same problem with the latest version of unreal engine.
I found that giving the Epic Games Launcher admin permission allows things to run/download. I’m not totally sure that it works for everyone.
Just run the program with administrator rights.
This is 2025, day 2 pd dealing with this error and I’m no closer to a solution…
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the whole software, still the problem persist.
Run it as administrator too

Same here. Just keep getting “Error Code: MD-DL-0” when attempting to update no matter what we do, and the issue is on both PCs in our studio. We cannot even work with 5.7 at all because of this, even though the preview ran just fine with no issues.

Turned out to be a VPN-related issue for us. Seems that the launcher gets bugged or something if there’s any sort of VPN activity while it’s running. For each PC: we had to connect to our VPN first, then start the install, then disconnect from our VPN immediately to workaround this issue. Hope this helps anyone else who may be experiencing the same thing.
OK , So in my case I a part of UE5.7 was downloaded and I deleted it by mistake then I went to Epic Games and had the same error dm-dl-0 and I went to files and found a new empty folder called UE_5.7 and I deleted it and restarted the Epic Games then tried again about two or three times and It Worked ! at the end and I Restarted the computer too , So just play a bit with files restart the computer and the Epic Games , and tell me if it worked with U .
