[BUG] First time install not going well

Describe the bug (Mandatory)

Description

Multiple issues encountered on Windows 10 with Pyton 3.10.6

First, after install with pip, the UEVaultManager.exe did not have correct permissions to execute. After correcting that, the authentication popup would freeze and the program would become non-responsive. Attempting to run the application again resulted in an error stating the config file exists, continuing without a config file, followed by a traceback and crash.

If I delete the config file after each use, the application will run but then crashes with a traceback stating that datetime.now does not have a UTC property. If I change the code on core.py to use datetime.datetime.utcnow instead, it succeeds in authentication using the --disable-webview option.

If I attempt to do any other commands after successfully authenticating, I get the following error from nodriver:

UEVaultManager.exe list --disable-webview

                    Make sure your browser is installed in the default location (path).
                    If you are sure about the browser executable, you can specify it using
                    the `browser_executable_path='c:/path/to/your/browser.exe` parameter.

I tried running pip install chromedriver, but the behavior is the same.

I forgot to mention that the tkgui\modules folder was missing after initial install. I downloaded the repository and copied the modules folder into place manually.

modifications to core.py to stop UTC error on lines 324 and 340

Sorry for the delay, I was very busy. I'll look at as soon as possible.

The error is due to the usage of a "special"version of chromium that can bypass the (very annoying) captcha in the Epic store.

You need to install chromium or chrome and set the path of the executable in the code.

For a quick fix, set the correct path in the line #677 of the file UEVaultManager/api/egs.py

browser_path = r'C:\Program Files\Chromium\Application\chrome.exe'  # TODO: add the default browser_path to the settings

You can also install chromium for windows in its default location and it should run as it is
