Yes, finally!
I uninstalled Bitdefender and the Epic Games Launcher and now it’s working!

Ohh I solved!

1.) disable fireware and antivirus.

2.) Create shortcut of Epic Launcher

3.) Set “Run as administrator”

4.) Paste after shortcut “-http=wininet”

5.) voila!! IT works !!

Yeah. -http=wininet works. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Set “Run as administrator” and you won’t need to do anything to your bitdefender firewall or to your shortcut.

I had the same problem, this fixed it for without uninstalling anything: Error! No version information received - Programming & Scripting - Unreal Engine Forums

Hi all,

I’m trying to download UE4 from behind a company firewall which I cannot modify or deactivate. I’ve tried adding the -http=wininet flag after the link path to the launcher, which seemed to solve the problem for other users, but no go. Is there a way I can at least download and install the EXE and perhaps work offline? Please keep in mind I do not have Dev Studio so I cannot download the binaries and compile them. I need the EXE directly.

Thanks,

Thank you! I can confirm this fix worked using Bitdefender 2015. Back to work now. :slight_smile:

This didn’t work for me, unfortunately : /

I suppose the fact I don’t have bitdefender makes a difference. I do have malware bytes but idk if it’s the same thing.

Hi ,

Did you manage to get it sorted in the end as I’m also trying to download UE4 from behind a company firewall which I cannot modify or deactivate.
