Windows 10: I am trying to install Epic Games Launcher on my PC and it is failing to install them....

Hello, I am trying to install Epic Games Launcher on my PC and it fails every time. I tried to install it by downloading the .msi file and it fails to install saying that "The Epic Games Launcher Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error". I also tried to install from the Microsoft Store but it fails to install there too giving a Code: 0x80040154 error. Mine is a brand new PC with Windows 11 installed in it.

EOS-ERR-1602 when installing Epic Online Services component to Epic Games Launcher in Windows 11

I have been troubleshooting with Epic Games and none of the solutions they came up with worked for me, so the agent suggested I ask Microsoft for guidance since EOS-ERR codes are related to the MSI installer.

This is what I have tried:

Reinstalling the Epic Games Launcher

Updating Windows 11 and restarting the computer

Running Epic Games Launcher as administrator

Granting Read and Write permissions to Epic Games Launcher

Shutting down Windows Installer Service and then attempting the install

Running the Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter from Microsoft

Relocating Epic Launcher to my main drive

Even after all these actions I still get a prompt to install Epic Online Services from the Epic Games Launcher, and when I tried to install it I get the EOS-ERR-1602 error code when it fails to install.

Anyone know any next steps?

Thank you for reading this.
