Unable To Create New Project In UE 4.21

Hello, I have just recently installed UE 4.21 and I am trying to create a new project. When the project screen opens and asks me to create a new name and folder location all is ok from there. As soon as I press the create Project button, I keep getting an error and have no idea what is causing this. I have tryed the Verify option to see if there were problems, nothing seems to happen to stop this crash. Here is the Error I keep getting. Any one know how to solve this?

An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

Update to current post. I have also discovered that I am unable to open any older projects from UE4.20 after the install of UE4.21. These projects shows to be Other rather than 4.20 as they used too. Here is a screenshot of this.

Since I had not even received any help on this issue, the only thing I was able to do was uninstall EVERY Engine including the launcher and reinstall every one over once again which takes up a lot of valuable time. It would be great if this game engine was not so difficult to use when it comes down to migrating to a new engine. Messes up EVERY project I have every time.
