As soon as i launch the Epic games launcher i get this error: “This Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)”

Information:

1. I have Direct X version 12, Check it by going to DXDIAG
2. Microsoft Visual studio c++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributable (X64)
3. Microsoft Visual studio c++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributable (X86)
4. Microsoft Visual studio c++ 2019 Redistributable (ARM 64)
5. .NET frame work 4.8 advanced series.
6. .NET frame work 3.5

Also after i install Epic game launcher by default it got installed in C → Program Files X 86 → Epic games

Also (“c:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEngineLauncher.exe”)

This path does not exist on my computer as i’m seeing Win32 instead of Win64 and if i open Win32 i do not see “UnrealEngineLauncher.exe”

Please help.
