so i found a work around to get the engine to open, uninstall 4.24 prerequisites, Restart install 4.25 then its prerqs will install, then restart and the engine runs… lol way to go!
now i can’t install 4.24 again LMAO like WTF 
can’t seem to have 4.24 and 4.25 installed at the same time. what a rip.
so after reinstalling 4.24 now 4.25 says it needs reinstalled. ROFL Great Job! time to fire whoever was recently hired. it feels like a unity dev got a job for unreal to destroy it and push ppl to unity by breaking everything.
