it seems to download everything fine although doesn't seem to do anything upon trying to launch it (yes I ran it as admin)

oh the issue seemed to be that it didn't copy the files from the EpicGamesLauncherInstaller/SourceDir/Epic Games/Launcher to the bin/epic_games folder

dont run the batch script as admin it breaks 7zip, when epic games asks for admin on its first launch thats when you give it admin.

i have just tested and confimed its still working so im assuming you ran into ^ that issue

basically when epic games asks for admin for launcher prerequisites thats when you say yes to admin not running the batch script as admin
