I have been in a loop with Epic Games Support and they sent me here.
I have a freshly reformatted computer, up to date drivers and 3TB of harddrive space. When I download the Unreal Engin it gets stuck verifying and the crashes, then when re-open my launcher and try to resume the download it says that the file path needs to be cleared. I guess they gave up on me and want me to go to the forums now so this is my only hope.
So I did manage to fix it now! My computer was automatically deleting the
EpicInstaller-14.2.1.msi File because I was just clicking “Open” Instead of “Save As” when I downloaded the Epic Games Launcher. This would lead to a kernel32 error because it could not be found.
TLDR
Uninstall Epic Games Launcher
Re-Download it and when it asks “Open” or “Save As” Choose “Save As” and put it in your downloads folder
Re-Install like normal and hopefully this helps someone else!
